Harsh Truth: Excerpt From Then Til Now

Take some time to reflect on:
Your current insecurities
Then dig deeper
Write them down
Read what you wrote out loud while facing the mirror
Accept it as the truth
Take a deep breath and let it out

Daydreaming you and I were in those chairs
Sitting across,
Hand in hand
Serenading lies
And sweet-sounding promises
My heart accepts the mediocrities
Because internally I........

It's the season for giving, doing family activities, and sharing much of yourself with many.

But don't forget to have some 'Me Time' after.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, beautiful souls.

"Christmas is around the corner,
All I want is some sorrel and fruitcake.

A Jamaican Christmas 🇯🇲"

This was my thought while editing a Christmas poem that will be released on Christmas Day. It made me miss home.💚🖤💛

When you FINALLY upload to Amazon KDP without any kickbacks… 🥲😪

It’s always something—bleeds, trims, page numbers, layout issues. The struggle is REAL! But we made it. 🙌

Love in this digital and modern age has been simplified to a whirlwind of DMs, hookups, and abbreviations( i.e. IMY, ILY). I want it to go back to sonnets.

I dislike accounts faking AI-generated images as real photos. I followed one for their stunning images, but noticed inconsistencies after I zoomed in. AI-generated images should be labeled, and credit should be given if the photos weren't personally taken.

Is it narcissistic to read your own books and consider them among your favorites?

I worked on Mackinac Island for 6 seasons—my second island home. These prose honor the horses, Arch Rock & an island like no other.

Print 'A Mackinac Day' & 'Oh My Horses' as A4 wall art for your home or a gift.

Suggestion for Flash Fiction Writers:

Turn your prose, stories, and quotes into print-on-demand products:

Mugs – Perfect for tea or coffee lovers.

Tote Bags – A must-have for readers and writers.

Art Prints – Add flair to offices and creative spaces.

Trade your writing, not your time, to earn.

The Decay

The petals need sunlight.
The stems need water too,
But he comes daily,
Only prod and prune,
Forgetting the tenderness required.
To foster the perfect bloom.
