I protect myself from more scars!
Here's a poem I poured my heart and soul into on life and conflict. I wrote it about being a broken-hearted wreck finding yourself in it all, and still coming out of it strong, realizing as imperfect as we are, it is during the hard times were strengthened into beauty. Still perfect once we learn to accept it as part of us instead of being ashamed of who we are.

Five Regrets Most People Have at the End of Their Lives according to Bronnie Ware
I have an obsession with reading and studying regrets in life. It has fascinated me since I was a kid. As a nurse, I had the opportunity to ask my patients questions about regret and death. The conversations never started with me asking, yet it was an evolution.

Walking through Thunderstorms
I can remember when I started to feel anxiety back in childhood. In a crowded room, I always felt so overwhelmed that I started to cry. If I felt like I couldn’t do something right the first time, I cried. Even in my 30’s, if I feel like I don’t have the ability or can’t comprehend such a monumental task ahead of me, I cry.

The Salty, Sweet, & Shit List
--- I've always really wanted to use profanity in a title, maybe it started when I was ballsy enough to write "bastard" on my Grade 11 English exam. In university I wrote also wrote "fuck" multiple times to answer a question about literature and the Holocaust on an exam. But I digress, as an elementary school teacher I have to stay "professional". Though this is not the classroom. Thank fuck.

Dollar Stars
Dollar Stars ~Stars and Dollar Tree I wake up to the blaring alarm clock that sings Walking on Sunshine and forget why I ever liked that song. With my eyes wanting to stay shut and the twisted stomach I fell asleep with, it is hard to gather the motivation to plant my feet on the cold hardwood floor. Luckily, my need for caffeine weighs out my need for comfort, and I walk. As I wait for the coffee pot to fill, I take in the sunny-coffee scented air. I could really be happy right now if my life didn’t suck.

Making it to Heaven
Making it to Heaven By: Ann Larual One minute I was walking down the sidewalk mentally reviewing what needed done today, the next minute there was the squealing of tires, crunch of metal, and Pain. It was intense pain that seemed to radiate throughout my whole body. I tried to move. Nothing. Tried to speak. It was the same. Nothing came out. Then things got really weird. All the noise that I’d been hearing, people screaming, horn blaring, sirens, and someone talking to me, I think, just seemed to fade away. Until I heard nothing. It was the same way with my vision. It just faded from a flurry of activity and panic around me to, well, nothing.

The More I step into my Grace, the More Grace I naturally Give to Others
The more you get to know yourself, the more you get clear on what your true values are. This is a true gift because your values light the way towards living a life that is in alignment. Your values help you make the hard decisions, and have the hard conversations. And most importantly maybe, they ground the heavy emotions that inevitably come with movement and change.

My Vocal Bad
Image from Pinterest Introduction You may think that this is going to be a negative post, it will hopefully be seen as positive and supportive to everyone in the Vocal Facebook Groups and that immediately has given me an idea. I often list my favourite Vocal Groups at the end of some of my posts. If I take that list and turn it into a pseudo poem then I can just attach it to relevant posts going forward, so it will appear here as well.
