The Night's Lullaby:
I am the night, dark and deep, The silent whisper that rocks you to sleep. In shadows, I linger and creep, A haunting lullaby for you to keep.

Dark and Unafraid
The darkness is not so bad No pain or strife, just free A bitter rest to be had No need to worry for me In shadows I find peace

Smiles Veiling Sorrows

I Don’t Feel Like Writing Today
Day 51/366 days of writing pieces in 2024. When I was going through my life coaching certification in 2019, the CEO of our company had us do writing exercises to get in touch with our feelings. She stressed how much power there was in writing exactly what we were thinking and feeling. Even if the exercise led to things like “this is a dumb exercise” or “I don’t want to write” or “I don’t know what to write about” And so today I found myself remembering that and I allowed myself to write exactly that. Because the truth today is “I don’t feel like writing today” I’m consumed with getting ready for my art show this weekend that I wrote about yesterday (read here) and I want all my brain power for that. Yet allowing myself to follow the prompt I gave myself below let me get a decent piece out. Lesson: write how you feel. Don’t hold back.
