Thirty Orders and a Heart Full of Hope
Publishing the first book in my Dreamland Adventures series shook me in ways I never imagined. I thought writing would be the hardest part, but pressing “publish” felt like standing in the middle of a crowded room, holding out something precious and whispering, “I hope you like it.”
Then came the silence… the waiting… the wondering.
No one really talks about the fear that comes with chasing somethin Read more of this blog post »

“Your heart beats against the palm of my hand.
Its
need
to be
one with me
drips
between my fingertips
as I squeeze perfect drops of love into small
receptacles to be preserved,
for later.”

“Tis the night before Christmas
And the moon is sitting high
The kids are in bed,
Kissed and snuggled in tight
The gifts are all wrapped
There is love in the air
It only comes once
So it is handled with care
The curtains are drawn
The cookies are bit
It’s time to blow out
All those candles we’ve lit
The kids will soon wake
With laughter in their hearts
We have a big day ahead
And early it would start
Laughter’s and squeals
Jumps on the bed
Screaming, “Get up”!
“Get up!” as they fled
Wrappings and ribbons
Thrown everywhere
“Oh, I love you Mom and Dad!”
Neither did spare
Family arrives - Carolers sing
Stories are told
Of childhood memories
This is true love; true love is in the air
And it only comes once
So it is handled with care
Now the gifts have been opened
And the food is all gone
The songs are all sung
And the guests have gone home
It is time to get back
To all the normal things
It is time to put away
All that the holidays bring
You'll go to your office
She'll go to her room
He'll reach for his game
I guess I'll grab the broom
Christmas had come
And Christmas had went
It only comes once a year
But it is always time well spent”

“As a man thinketh, so is he?
The Faith of a mustard seed?
I planted those words in my thoughts
and still
my mind wound up lost
between my dreams and reality.”
