I AM...Writing Declaration

Can anybody direct me to the open doorway leading to Acaresa? Oh that's right it's a world inside my head (with a very special tree which I wish to paint on the wall at some point)...nevertheless...some fascinating creatures live inside a world inside the world there and I would really like to explore the world they live in! So really...if you lose touch with me over the next weeks, months, years...that's very likely where I will be...maybe finding the answers to their world will help me in my own. It is long overdue time. No more whispered hopes and dreams and definitely NO more doubts and fears. I SOLIDIFY my desire to create. I COMMIT all that I am to the journey. I REFUSE to HIDE myself from myself anymore. I DON'T write for anyone but ME so if you think it sucks that may well be true to YOU but it IS and always has been MY belief that the expression of your heart, mind and soul is NOT a waste and NEVER wrong and doesn't SUCK whether others understand it or not. You gave them a raw, unblemished, untarnished, whole and perfect portion of your SOUL. I am not afraid of that anymore and so I AM capable. I AM ready. I AM EVERYTHING i need to be. I DO dream and I'm ready to make it REALITY. I. AM. MORE. THAN. ENOUGH! I AM! I declare it!

I AM...Mother

I am
soft whispered words
of comfort
during sickness

I am
loving arms
holding close
the babes of my womb

I am
warm hands
of love
soothing children's hurts

I am
tender tears
of joy
and pride in each new milestone

I am
smiles and laughter
from each and every moment
with my children

I am
sorrow and worry
from the harsh life lessons
each of them have learned

I am
hopes and dreams
and belief
in all their dreams coming true

I am
proud and appreciate
the strength, beauty and intelligence
of each of my children

I am
honoured
that they were my gift
and I am their mother

I am
grateful
for the life and the lessons
that I received from MY mother

I am
everything I am
because you are everything you are
and my mother

Thank you, Mom for being the mother you are
and for teaching me to be the mother I am
and Happy Mother's Day with all my love. xo

I AM...Orange

I am
the soft light
inside the raging flames
of phoenix fire

I am
the sweet aroma
and flavour
of pumpkin pie spice

I am
the soft whisper
of autumn leaves
drifting to the ground

I am
the vibrant
and brilliant colour
of transformation

I am
the deep burst
of sweet juices
dripping from a bitten peach

I am
the unforgettable
vision of glorious
blooming flower petals

I am
a range of colours
somewhere between
yellow and red

I am
just one aspect
of a life and
equally as beautiful as another.

I AM...Curvylicious

I am...
Curvylicious
That's right!
I said it!

I am
rounder than many
and struggled with self
until I came to KNOW

I am
what I am
it doesn't matter
what YOU see

I am
vibrant, alive, breathing
and I recognize
what matters is how I see ME

I am
all that I need to be
and more
heart, mind, soul and spirit

I am
queen, goddess, woman
Aphrodite and Venus
I embrace her spirit in me

I am
more than the standard
of beauty
more than the average

I am
strong, fierce, independent
beautiful
and free

I am
not afraid
or ashamed to BE
ME

I am
Curvylicious!!




I AM...Mojirayo

I am
suffering today
from all the usual
complaints

I am
making a choice
to be happy today
anyway

I am
Mojirayo
"I awoke to see joy"
is my mantra

I am
lifting my own heart
up out of its sorrow
by choice

I am
choosing
not only to find joy
where I can

I am
choosing
to BE it
as much and as often as I can

I AM
Mojirayo
and
I AM...JOY

I AM...a VOICE

I am a voice
In the darkness
For many
I do not know them
I may never know
They have heard
Still
I must SPEAK
With my voice
In the darkness
BECAUSE
I AM
...and by BEING
The VOICE
In the darkness
I allow THEM
...and INSPIRE them
to SPEAK
with their OWN.
I am a voice
In the darkness
Only ONE of many.
