I was walking the Williamsburg Bridge, and all I could think of was the quote “all this, and we still met.”

A small thought for this new year.

2026, I can’t wait for you to be here. 

This week, the eldest daughter was really eldest daughtering.

Snow falls, and people fall in love.

The emotions in the eyes don't lie.

This week, I practiced gratitude with gritted teeth, which is okay. We all have times where we should be feeling one way, but find it hard to bring it to life.

But I’m still grateful, and the fake smile is fading away into one that is very much real :) 

The quiet confidence of a lion is what I see in the mirror.

They say it’s harder to be concise. Here is another writing prompt that forced me to focus on three lines.

Another writing prompt gem: we all have emotional and physical scars.

A writing prompt that made me really reflect on my inner light: my soul. 

This past Sunday, I got to read my poetry out loud for the first time! And although I’m confident, compliments and interest are always nice :) 

The lyric "fall in love again and again" is stuck in my head.

Following your heart can be a bit lonely at times.

A little thought about love being intense and love being calm.

One of my favorite times of year is the transition from summer to fall. 

Here is a small thought about that. 

The city is always getting the romantic side of me :D

Cities always create that sense of wonder.

Clarity comes in many shapes and forms.

A thought I had while moving.
