honing my skills
protecting my boundaries
daring to be myself

i am a masterpiece

We have a collage to fire your imagination this week.

Where might certain power be?
It’s retained in what we feel and see.
Faith can be noticed, as well as, felt.
‘Good living’ promotes our society’s health.
Nature provides both wonder and awe,
As all living creatures are bound by her law.
Art, an expression born of a spiritual mind,
Eclectic endeavors promote growth ‘in kind’.
But solitude reminds each person unique,
Introspection’s prized function to find all we seek.

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #287

We all have our crosses to bear, problems that cause trouble or worry which may continue over a long period of time.  Some of the things that go bump in the night turn out to be real and she experienced creatures lurking in the shadows, monsters hiding underneath her bed and living in her closet and she was always too frightened to go into the basement.  She knows that people think she is crazy, but most of her life has been like a being on a tour through Dante’s nine circles of hell.  What is “normal,” anyway?  Are any of us normal?  Aren’t we all a little crazy in one way or another?  Maybe a line needs to be draw somewhere, so it is never crossed.  What caused this transformation in her life, where did she go wrong?

Her uncle groped her when she was nine and the kids in the…

Read me like a book
Bending open my flat spine
Preserve my pages
Or dog ear random corners
Peruse at nightfall
Reading by soft lantern light
Or read in the park
Lying in the grass sunlit
I’ve no dust jacket
Breathe into me your laughter
Read through unceasing
Or leisurely taking breaks
Place with care to pause
I am words long lingering
You remember me
There I am if you forget
Your favorite book
Return to me forever
Putting me on a shelf not

I haven’t been very happy with my blood sugar readings lately.

They’ve been really high, and I’ve been trying my best to get them down to a more reasonable level.

So here are my list of alternatives, what I can and should do to get my blood sugar under control.

1. Drink more water.
2. Exercise more regularly.
3. Test my blood sugar regularly.
4. Change my diet and make sure I am eating the right foods.
5. Eat regularly, and often.

Doing these things I am pretty sure I can make the changes necessary to see results.

Ocean playlists 
wave after wave
salt on my lips
a song to crave

Jasmine forests
drawing shapes
with charcoal pencils
from memory lanes

Mercury moonlight
marks my mirror
notching up nights
to go before I sleep

Sights and smells
in sepia tones
still line up and hope
to take the place of you

Write a story about a new beginning, fresh start or new challenge.

The response to my positivity will decide the intensity of my next move.

Today’s prompt is

FINDING ALTERNATIVES

Think of a situation in your life you are not happy with.

➰➰➰

I’d like a do over please;

A government in power who thinks about its people

A regime which allows people to say what true and right

No chains on the pen no locks on the tongue

Someone honest with no interest in making money

People at the helm of power who are kind and God fearing

No bigotry or racism, no bias on any basis

I would like a do over please

Moving to another country is not an option for me

I love my people and want to stay in my place of birth

I’d love to be treated with dignity and respect, whoever I may…
