Genuine


It is always easy to follow the crowd and do what everyone else is doing. However, that is not what makes me happy, so I’ll choose a different path. In my own world, I can’t be what I want to be even I don’t act. I don’t want to duplicate what others are doing.

For some, that makes them happy. For me, I need so much more than to lead an uninspired life. I need the things that fill my soul and electrify my heart. I’ll always be the one who walks, talks, and thinks like an original. I wasn’t meant to lead an ordinary life doing regular things. While some find happiness there, I need more. I crave colorful sunsets and rain-swept warm afternoons that complete my day. I want to embrace all the things that fulfill my spirit and ease my soul.

I crave adventure, but I am prepared to be alone with my kids and husband, without anything else. I seek out-of-the-way places with people, but I’m not attached to them. I find joy in the company of those I can trust and treasure. In a word, I want to be happy—true happiness with genuine people.

I’ll never be happy chasing someone else’s dream or duplicating the efforts of others. I know that sometimes I rub people the wrong way, and not everyone will like me or the way I think. I’m perfectly fine with that. I’m not trying to change the world for everyone; I’m trying to change the world for one person, and that’s me.

I’m not out to lead the crowd into being like me; I’m simply listening to my heart and following my dreams. I never claimed to be perfect or that my days are easy—only that I would tackle each and every challenge with an unbreakable spirit and a passionate attitude. I’m not the strongest person I’ve ever met, but I’m strong in all the ways that matter to me.

I’m a loyal friend, a kind person, and a devoted partner. I strive to embody all the ideals I admire and appreciate about the special people in my life. I’ve learned along my journey that I don’t have to be the best to be happy; I just need happiness on my own terms.

I make mistakes, and I conquer the mountains that stand in my way every day. I may rise and I may fall, but I’ll always do it my way. In the end, I’ll be what matters most to me.

I write a poem that makes the world see,    a woven thread wherein hearts can be free. I write a poem that older folks feel,    echoes of wisdom, truth that is real.

Plate Of Plenty

If you don't feel like eating, think of them! This photo has so much pain. 😒 Food is life, but brain fog for an ungrateful heart.  If you don't like what's on your plate,  don’t toss it aside, don’t seal its fate.  Each morsel holds a story, a journey begun, A  gift from the earth, a battle won.   Imagine a morning when the table is bare,  what will you do when hunger calls loud, No bread, no fruit, just an empty stare.  The abundant meals and the warmth of a feast, All vanish in silence and hunger unleashed.  When a pantry is empty, and your stomach aches.   Don't dare to wish!  So, before you discard what you do not desire, think  of the hands that toiled, the hearts that inspire.  Each bite is a blessing, a chance to reflect on  those who have little, on lives we protect.  So, savor the flavors, let gratitude flow, For  the food on your table, let appreciation grow.  For one day you may wake, a...

Gratitude for Provided Lunch

Why We Need to Stop Wasting Our School Lunch Recently, a teacher raised a frustrating concern: students are throwing away the school-provided lunches. It’s a tough conversation, but it is one we need to have. The lunch provided by the PSS (Public School System) is a privilege. Many communities and organizations do not have the resources to offer free daily meals, and we are fortunate to have this support. Being thankful for what we receive creates a better school environment and shows appreciation for the staff who work hard to feed us every day. If you don't want to eat your meal, please do not throw it in the trash. Give it to a classmate who wants it. Consistently discarding food creates negative feedback that could jeopardize the entire lunch program. If we want this program to survive, we need to adapt. That means being willing to eat fruits and vegetables, rather than just sticking to the usual foods we prefer. This program is an opportunity to build healthier eating habi...
