The Poetry Place

In this week's episode, I share the beauty I discovered while caring for my mom during an unexpected season of life.

What brings people to life? What if we all became Firewatchers, witnessing the beauty of one another's internal flames and adapting that radiance into our very own way of being?

How often have we yearned for transformation, feeling like it is just beyond our grasp? Yet, in an instant, everything can change. Join me as I explore the freedom of transformation in this week's poem, "Scaled Mosaic Wings and the Firefly."

I share where I'm being intentional about feeling all the feels and how this place of welcome is helping me determine my best path forward. I wonder what places are especially supportive and encouraging of you and if you can give that place a little more space to exist in your day today.

I'm learning to be gentle with myself while holding goals and aspirations with intention and practicing flexibility. I'm learning to receive times of focused attention with gratitude while remaining open to the wide range of my human experience. I hope this gentle reflection encourages a gentleness to rise up inside of you.

In this episode, I explore how each of us lives and dies a little each day and how the passing of time motivates me to live fully present today. I hope this perspective encourages you, as it often encourages me, to do the things only I can in my corner of the world today.

This is a tribute to life, bringing me exactly what I need when I need it. I wonder how you enjoy capturing life's lessons in your soul.

Walk with me as I find my first ever Geode on the beach and give it space to speak to me. I wonder what you're discovering in life today and what it may want to speak to you.

I share the dance I'm engaging in between my inner and outer worlds. I'm allowing old memories to surface and bring with them new revelation. I'm noticing things of beauty around me and allowing that beauty to call me forward. I wonder what resonates with your soul today?

Here, I share a practice for connecting with my inner world and discerning what I may need to navigate the rest of my day successfully. I also share my practice of poetry, the process I use to cultivate and strengthen my inner voice.

The tapestry of our lives weaves together many threads. This episode explores a meditation that supports peace and stillness within moments that add vibrancy and vitality to our lives alongside moments that feel heavy and intrusive.

How do you find a way forward when you wake up feeling disappointed, ashamed, guilty, or unworthy? Here I share one of my favorite meditations, a safe place to begin the day.

Being open to embracing mistakes and their ability to be a catalyst for learning, growing, and exploring.

I wonder what we might learn from embracing the uncomfortable places inside each of us. This week, I explored my own uncomfortable airplane seat. Note: This episode does reference sexual assault.

Have you ever wondered, " What in the world is this dense fog about?" And what it is encouraging me to do?

What is the universe speaking to you today? This word arrived on our very own Blacktop Driveway. Cheering us on to embrace the day and one another.

Where are you experiencing structures of unwavering strength and support? Human beings who are anchored, encouraging you to grow?

I wonder what dreams are particularly memorable to you? How would you describe the dream? What parts were significant to you? What was the dream encouraging you to explore, understand, or be curious about? Is there a spiritual truth this dream is trying to convey?

Reconcile the disconnect we experience in our lives in changing roles and our identity.

The Power of our Words and how we can use them to deposit miracles right there in a fellow traveler's left pocket.
