Dramatic sky on this gorgeous day. #LongBeach #LBC #Skyscape
City scene of Long Beach, California with a pedestrian bridge, buildings, and high-rises, with a street running between them. Vibrant flowers are in the foreground and all of it is under a bright blue sky with scattered wisps of white clouds.

Working on a laptop with a bandage on your index finger is comical. Touch ID, track pad, typing. Good times.

Peace of mind is priceless, but it isn’t free. What are you willing to give up for a life of peace?

Elevation requires movement, not mere words. Let’s align our words with our actions.

There’s a difference between a kind person having a moment of selfishness and a selfish person having a moment of kindness. Seeing people honestly helps you love yourself more honestly.

Disappointment can occur when we’re limiting ourselves. Sometimes we’re pursuing a slight change when life is leading us to an enormous one.

Smile big and smile free.

Poem Smile Free She smiles, but I know better Bad choices are her drug Accepting unhealthy connections On an unquenchable quest for love My heart fills with gratitude Knowing that her past and mine are the same Because my journey turned me toward the light And she simply can’t walk through her pain Thankful to be centered and whole Following the passage through my truth Truth that I can recall and not crumble Truth that gathers around her neck like a noose Hopeful for the day when she stops pretending That her pain hasn’t become her priest The day when she can look at truth and really smile Smile big and smile free

Embrace the warmth of your own sun.

#NationalPoetryMonth #poem #poetry
Poem called Be Hopeful. I want to be hopeful Embrace the warmth of your sun Give full-body smiles free reign Open my arms wide Let my soul skip But I know the pattern Joy is where we start In that undeniable haze Until I take a deep breath And find myself in hiatus I want to be hopeful But I know this script So I take in each scene, each gesture Until space and fear sets in And the effortless becomes effort less We twirl like leaves in the wind Spinning until we’re no longer Only traces of electricity And whispers of be hopeful morph Into taunts of be hope, fool The voice of the whisperer Is the same as the one who taunts Maybe it wasn’t what was said But how I heard Be hopeful When the plea was, “Be hope. Full.” Let my soul skip Open my arms wide Give full-body smiles free reign Embrace the warmth of my own sun By Myla Denise

You wouldn’t allow anyone else to tell you you’re not enough regularly. Why do you permit cruel criticism from yourself?
