This week has been a little hectic as I try to balance life a little more. I was very pleased to announce the forth-coming short story to my author site, though. Still, it's a little nerve-wracking when you are about to release something you're worked so hard on. This week, my mother and I took... Continue Reading →
Thought for the Day – Angelic Year Edition
More "Thought for the Day" is going to be released in the upcoming months. In honor of the start of the Angelic New Year, some content may change or be added to later. Lots more coming soon! For now, think on this quote:
Angelic Year Edition: “Forging Ahead and Community”
The new year has already provided me with some challenges. There's been so much to do and a lot of influences and thoughts I have to sift through. That's part of the growth process, especially when you are serious about spirituality. After dealing with a bad head cold and allergy attacks, which are still... Continue Reading →
Return to posting, Upcoming Lit. News!
After a period of absence from most social media, I am officially returning to updating T.W.N. and Superlative Deviation! I’m busily trying to complete a project for release here on the website but hope to share an update in a week or so.
In keeping with the season, I will be posting a few items to S.D. that revolve around the Angelic New Year, which I and others who study with my personal mentor observe. It might not bee as in-depth as I’d like it to be, since my main focus is elsewhere; but I am celebrating and wanted to share a taste of the positive vibes.
Stay tuned for the literary update and more news later this month!

Poetry: “Choosing Sides”
One of the poems chosen for the book.
I awoke one day to find
a cryptic lie had seized my mind.
I awoke one day to see
illusions claiming I was free.
I awoke one day to feel
the seven deadly, putrid seals.
I awoke one day to think
how near my soul came to the brink.
I awoke one day to do
what pride had begged me never to.
I awoke one day to dare
reject the darkened powers of air.
I awoke one day to know
the true … “above is so below”.
I awoke one day to stand
among the few meek of the land.

Contribution to the Weekly Smile: “Seasonal Changes and Fun” #weeklysmile #indoornomore #handmade
After a couple busy weeks of hard work, it was really nice to get out for a leisurely walk yesterday. We met a beautiful black cat with green eyes and took pictures of the trees as their leaves were nearly gone. I also managed to pick up some trash in our neighborhood and deposited...
