Excerpt from Up and Down the Ladder
Dear friends, I'm extremely happy to inform you that I've published and sold a paperback poetry book on Amazon. Since Feburary 24th 2022, I've been a proud, driven and passionate published poet! For my entire life, I've dreamed of publishing at least 1 book that people can purchase and read, and that day finally came. I finally crossed it off my "mental bucket list" of things I want to accomplish and create in life.

Wishing Well
Brick by brick, I was slowly built. Molded to the ground and firmly set in place. So much room, and yet I was nothing but empty space. I spent each morning gazing at a blissfully painted sky, longing to be the artist that made it come alive. Similarly, my nights consist of wishing upon the stars, that maybe one day I could be the one to shine through the dark. Honey has bees, leaves have trees, when will something ever need me? A well made of stone, hollow, and never ever whole. The well and I, we live side by side.

Learn: Poem #21
In a previous post, I shared the impact of relationships, giving you all a sneak peek at my poetry pamphlet Monomyth Melodies, coming out later this year. Below is one of my poems that doesn't follow the common method of rhyming. Instead, I've used the alphabet as inspiration, tracing each letter at the beginning of each line. I started out wanting to have stanzas, where just sections of the poem would rhyme, but at the end I was able to create an entire piece that bounces off each other, creating one semblance of thought through twenty-six separate phrases. Some of the thoughts are a sentence on their own and others blend into the following line. Either way, I have tried to create moments of thoughtfulness and woven in nuggets of truth. The world is not how we would wish, but every step that we take remind others that we are not in this alone. Sometimes it just takes one voice to stand out.
