Seven Strategies to Help Reach Your Full Potential

No one can master everything, however, you can build stamina and growth by giving these tips a try. Join me as I share what works for me — The young boy picked up the violin and tried to put the shoulder rest on the back. He attempted it again, as it fell to the floor.

A Poetic Trance

Poets Write Thoughts in an Indirect, Hopeful Dance — Enter the words upon the canvas white Times past revered forward, a poet’s delight. Now internal bliss held tight to chest, Externally shared, eternity at rest.

Loaded Clouds

A poem of thoughts about current events — The sun hides behind the low-hanging frosty fog wondering if it will show up, glowing alive while frightening the icy air into the background. I wonder; pause to think. Is our life much like waiting for the sun to shine? …

Between Lines

Words help express the sentiments captured but forbidden to share — The swirl of emotion torn into the darkness when life flashed before my eyes Never realized I was lonely or alone Feeling off base, something triggered inside. Words, empty promises all fall flat upon a soul wounded deeper than sea depths weakened hope dangerously slim Trapped in the guise of connection; alone…

Time Has No Anchor

A thought about how much we waste in time, to try to reclaim it. — Time waits for no one Clocks, wound up tick Until the tock stops. Even still, time still moves. Age is like time Our daily clock moves us Toward the final breath No pauses given. Hours, the chunk of time Whittled away in useless acts Ignoring love, friends, unity Until minutes are left.

Breathwork, Breaks, and Beginnings

Gains from breaks help us find focus, build courage, and feel refreshed. Here’s what I did: — Every morning I slid out of bed, grabbed my decaf, and paused with a book. I wasn’t apprehensive about what book, so anyone I had been reading the week before would do. The book fell open where it was most turned to, and I began to read. …

Time Marches, Written Memories Wait

Write the thoughts down, even if you save them for later. The memory returns and you write to the moment with refreshness and hope. — My story box, full of poetry, stories, articles, and ideas waited a quarter of a year for the day I returned. Today was the day, as I accidentally, on purpose, opened my account to see what I had created. …
