Déjà vu - 4-19-2020 April 20th marked the 10-year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon (BP) Oil Spill. A devastating ecological event that is still having adverse environmental impacts to this day.

Social injustice -  4-19-2020 Social distancing vs physical distancing, who was the Einstein who came up with the term “social distancing”? Why not use “physical distancing” since that is what we are being required to do? We have been social distancing for centuries.  It called the haves and the have nots, the 1% and the rest of us. Yeah, let’s exacerbate that [...]

A letter from God

Dear Mija, It is I, the one who whispered you into existence, filled your vessel with grace and love so that you may know all the wonders of life and the world. Yet, you are searching for your faith because you think you have lost it, but I see the light within you and know your truth. Your faith has not [...]

Winter Clothes

April 3, 2017|Comments Off on Winter Clothes

Winter Clothes Cold on the outside and on the inside. Covered, so all is hidden. Hiding the lifeless from the lifeless. Bitter, sharp, frigid. Not feeling a thing. Cocooned, barely enough room to move, to breathe. Slap you across the face winds. Not feeling a thing. Gray sky, gray mind, time stands still, a day by day kind of death. Not [...]

Ghost – written for my upcoming poetry book “I Am”

September 4, 2016|Comments Off on Ghost – written for my upcoming poetry book “I Am”

Ghost She is a window, looked through, as if they are searching for something beyond. Invisible. Screaming on the inside at the top of her lungs, she is left to feel as if she is not enough. Rage. Her words are spoken, but like a whisper in the wind, they are never truly heard. Silence. Words left to clutter her mind, [...]

The 61 days of Rebirth

November 3, 2014|Comments Off on The 61 days of Rebirth

Friday, October 31, 2014 Today was a great day of reflection and clarity - A beautiful day outside appreciating nature, life, and myself.  I traveled great distances today…physically, emotionally, and spiritually. While I was enjoying the copious amounts of Vitamin D I was receiving, I recalled a game that my mother taught me when I was pre-school. (Yes, I can remember [...]

So another book I'm writing is about my life as an environmentalist and environmental professional. Here's a bit piece from it....   All I hear is the waves on the shore and the birds in the air. Others are muffled in these sounds. The whiteness of the sand brings a glare to my eyes as the sun shines overhead. The sand [...]

That's going to be the title of my second poetry book... I've been working these last several months to pull it together. Fingers crossed I'll get it done this year! It's not the traditional poetry....here's a taste...     Why hang on to the past and things that no longer serve you or your journey? Like the snake that sheds its [...]
