~ Beauty In Rest ~
Sometimes…. …we disappear to rest Just like the sun… Everything God created has to rest… ….It doesn’t mean we won’t see it’s shining beauty again… …It means when it rises again… ….you’ll appreciate it’s beauty the beauty God created…

~ Little Blessings ~
When life gives you a prayer group, strangers praying for each other….You are blessed! A sweet lady in my writing prayer group gifted us a Starbucks coffee trip ☺️ I don’t go to Starbucks much….but when I do, it’s usually because it’s a gift, a blessing….a little blessing from God above…. Grateful for the little things of life 💝 Life is beautiful ❤️ Enjoy every day! #sundayblessings #prayersandpoetry #prayergroups #writersandpoets #blessings #thankyou #grateful #writingcommunity #christianquotes #christianwriters #chicanapoet #poetsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2HGawgWCK/?igshid=or7x9hbnsbej
~ Never Alone ~
Always remember we are never alone… …In our battles
We want to feel everything so we know we are alive… … Touching the lives of others As we are called to do… …We are all connected …Love one another, lift each other up, be the shining light someone may need. We love, because Jesus loved us first…. 🙏❤️🕯️ #thursdaythoughts #mentalhealthawareness #strongnertogether #notalone #bethereflectionoflove #encouragement #love #jesuslovesyou #shineyourlight #poetsofinstagram #christianpoetry #writingcommunity #poetsofig #photographylovers #dailyinspiration #quoteoftheday #prayerwarrior https://www.instagram.com/p/CLub1SaFBRx/?igshid=ueqi7lf4v8w9
I Am Thankful
As I reflect on this year and all the blessings in my life, I thank God for His gracious love. I am thankful for the gifts and talents given to me by God, my Creator.
These last two years, I’ve grown closer to God and am embracing who I am becoming, loving myself because He first loved me, healing through past pain. I am a firm believer in prayer and staying faithful in God’s goodness.
This year I prayed for the opportunity to expand in my passion and purpose in writing poetry, being a poet, and more than anything to be a blessing to those who read my poems.
In the last few months I’ve focused on my purpose for my upcoming poetry book and as I am transforming into the woman God created me to be, I can see the vision of my book becoming, as I too am becoming.
I’m humbled and thankful for having my first poem published in The Black And Latinx Poetry Project by Alegria Publishing.

I’m thankful for the weekly workshops by Davina, meeting other creative souls and sharing our passion in writing and poetry, for supporting and encouraging each other.
I’m thankful for my family as they support me through my poetry journey.
I’m thankful for the blessings of friends, for my praying friends, my friends that support me and push me to always do my best in all I do.
Thank you for my community of followers and supporters, for reading and embracing my work.
I am growing for you all.
🥰 Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!! 🥰

Hold My Hand, Not Your Thoughts
“Praying friends, Are friends for life”
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Honor The Inner Child In You
~ Every child loves to receive a gift ~
As Adults we forget to take time to enjoy the small blessings of life. To honor the inner child in us that craves to play and be adventurous.
Recently I was gifted three gifts and I keep each gift on my desk. Each gift means something special to me, but together it’s meaning is precious.
The first gift was an Etch-A-Sketch. My inner child was full of joy when I opened my eyes and saw what I thought would be a birthday present months from now.
The second gift was a unique light bulb plant holder. My growing soul smiled as my friend opened it to put the light bulb in place.
The third gift, beautiful stones with encouraging words etched in them. My servant’s heart full of encouragement.
Each gift alone is special, however when together it’s priceless. When I glance at them, I smile and remember to let my inner child play, to grow daily, and be an encouragement to others. To honor my inner child in the process, to be my authentic self, to give myself grace, to be unapologetically ME.
Always remember to honor your inner child. Next time you receive a gift, open it as if you were a child, smile and laugh, enjoying the moment.
When you give a gift, give with an open heart and love. Sow into others your gifts that God has given you. We all have talents and passions, we grow from learning from each other. From embracing our uniqueness to showing our inner child. Those who love and support you will always give space for you to be yourself.
Life is a journey to be experienced with those special souls who bring out the child in us.
Pick Yours
Sometimes we wear multiple hats in life…to be what we need to be and get done in that moment…
Juggling every day tasks…be it your personal life, work life, school life.etc….the list goes on…
Enjoy those moments between hats… between work and family… school and personal time…
Get what you have to get done…. learn from it…good or bad…then let it go…
Taking time to yourself to recharge… only wearing the hat that you want to wear!! Pick it and be YOU in it!! Love you…be proud of you…. it’s a journey of many more hats to live by….
Learn to be…to enjoy the moment…
