Your eyes pierce through me, dark and sleek
But, to no avail, I know not what they seek
Your touch burns my core from deep within
And I flush, like I’ve committed a mortal sin

You caress my very thoughts and dreams
In you, I am mesmerized and in awe it seems
You tightly grip a hold of my every sense
Stroking my emotions and crumbling my defense

Your words rev up my wearied soul
Causing my mind to spin out of control
My lips part, though I can’t speak a word
I stand frozen as my memories become blurred

I close my eyes and drift under your spell
Filled with delight but I dare not tell
Your very essence pushes me into overdrive
My desires build as you make me feel alive

Then suddenly things darken and my heart gets tight
I throw open my eyes but you’re nowhere in sight
All of my elated feelings begin to come crashing down
One by one they surround me without making a sound

As I reach my hand to my lips, a smile emerges
I feel your grip on me tighten as the battle surges
You remain withi...

It's time to redefine what "normal" means to you.

We're all conditioned to live within the limits of what the "average person" can and should do.

We measure ourselves by the standards of the majority, while losing touch of our own unique ability to contribute and impact the world.

We chase goals and success that end up feeling empty, and forget about what's really meaningful in life...

For the waters ran tainted for years, and the fruits of nature have spoiled. The air filled with toxins, and the land shredded for metals. For the people who know her language, mother earth weeps out. After centuries of pain and torture, finally she has been heard. Her people to have suffered, for they feel her pain the same. Dwindled to mere numbers, the people are capable just the same. For mother earth will walk beside the people, numbers matter not in this war. Love shall triumph, 7th generation prevails! Peace among the people across the world, for those left know the way. The silent drums coming from the beat of her heart, mother earth is the leader in this. For her we fight, for her peace shall come. She shall breathe once again without trouble, the people just the same.

Have you ever thought to yourself, "If I could do it all over again..." ?

So many times I've been asked this, to which I take a moment to contemplate the question, and then smile and reply "Although I'm not necessarily proud of everything that I did, I consider everything I did a stepping stone to which the final step will be to whom I will have become. Disappointments and regrets should not be looked down upon, but rather thought of as learning experiences to which we gain knowledge and empowerment and we become more of whom we portray ourselves to be."

I may not have been born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but I consider myself very lucky to have been raised in the manner I was. I was raised by an older set of morals, those of my grandparents, as well as an appreciation for so many things that most just take for granted today. I was taught that when it's our time to leave this life, the only thing that we will take with us is what we hold deep within us, not...
