There he was
Outside, chatting
Hearty laughter
Captured my attention.
Crooked smile
Lips part
Cigarette in the corner
Sudden spark.
Looking my way
Smiles exchanged
Quickly approaching
Frozen, I’m speechless.
Sudden breeze
He’s gone
Shocked, I turned
His eyes, shifted.
Standing with beauty
“He” is now “they”
Hearty laughter
Infectious giggle.
For a moment
I felt admired
Highly desired
Just for a moment.

You know, writing about myself has always been a challenge. It's not that I'm unsure of who I am but rather I like people to discover me on their own. I will tell you this much - I'M REAL! I guess that's all you need to know for a first approach; stick around and you'll understand the power behind that statement. What I do is another story! I embrace life hoping to live my purpose as a mother, daughter, sister, confidante and friend; I laugh, cry, and support; I admire, like and love; I listen, read and write. Most importantly, I have faith and thank God for all of me. My intent is to inspire others using my gifts and "Don't Forget the Half" reminds me to cast nothing aside. Want to know more? Discover along with me as I live my life out loud.

It always was so disappointing when the girlfriend came sauntering out of the bathroom to hold onto the arm of that hot guy you were just oogling over, wondering how to strike up a conversation.

Right! And then to make yourself feel better you say “what’s she got that I don’t have?” Well, HIM! 😆
