Balancing
Are there days when everything feels like it’s falling apart?
The number 222 is often seen as a symbol of balance, harmony, and alignment. In our efforts to reach these states, we sometimes need reminders of our inner strength, our power, and our inherent worth.
These 222 poems are the gentle, motivational sticky notes whispering,
"you’ve got this."
I love the feel of forming words. I am a word painter, taking the images in my head and trying to do them justice in poetry and stories.
My goal is to write pieces that will touch people’s souls, get them thinking and have a positive impact on their lives. I believe in magic, dreams and the mystical beauty of life.
"This journey is one big adventure of courageous discovery."
I release the timid woman you malign,
no longer offering forgiveness nor a blind eye,
I step into my being, not for others,
no longer suffer insomnia for your approval.
Though it may cause disruption and discomfort,
I will not place myself in your toxic space.
I choose sunshine, love, and those who care,
whose actions show this to be true,
who don’t spit venom in my absence,
and syrup too sweet in my presence,
until the mask slips, which once devastated me.
Now my armour sparkles golden glow,
for it is warmed by truth and honesty,
and for this strength I thank your unkindness.

The
wild life
in these photos are in reserves and not running around our streets, although they do occassionally walk out the front gate of national parks, or through holes in fences.
You try herd a 5,500 kg African elephant, or male lion where you would prefer them to be.
I think not.
That's why we have amazing, dedicated, well trained rangers who track and trace the escapees and return them to safe locations.
