New Poetry Video Series

Poetry

I’m stepping out of my comfort zone, pushing myself to stretch my creative muscle and continue to learn. That’s nothing new (not really). It feels like my life has been in flux for the past 6 years, shifting from one life-altering upheaval to the next.

This evolution is self-inflicted, though. I’ve found myself feeling stagnant and needing to be jolted out of my near zombie state.

I’ve thought about embarking on this new path for a while, and with the help and push from just the right people- here it is. My first poem video.

If you spend the 2 minutes watching it, I would appreciate any feedback, reactions, or suggestions you may have.

Here, poetry and art collide; and, more than anything, I hope it inspires you to keep (or start) creating.

Review Me

This project has been one more step in my journey through grief. I am grateful for the friends that have traveled with me and the lessons of love I am learning on the way.

Stages of Grief

Uncategorized

This graph on the stages of grief is the most helpful I have ever come across. Someone shared it in a Facebook group, and I saved it. I do not know the original source. If anyone recognizes it and can cite the source, I would be grateful!

This graph is an incredibly helpful tool for anyone grappling with loss. It is vital to be able to identify each emotion as they come rushing in like a wave in order to know which coping skills on which to rely in any given moment or day.

I am grateful to have a new tool. I can use all the help I can get.
