I know this is a Poetry blog but I want to share recent updates, successes and failures, and then to share about my new journey and new experiences I have. I want to share about new things that I’ve never done before, about learning new skills, and in general, trying new things.

I want to post something with the tags #New and #Journey in the subject that chronicle this journey and adventure. I hope to post about it at least once a week, maybe more often. I hope to take pictures to share and then write about those experiences in my poetry.

I feel like the season I am in, it is healthy for me, not only to write about my struggles, failures and pain, but also to relish in my triumphs, to share my accomplishments, and hopefully encourage others on a similar journey no matter the stage of life you are in or where you are located geographically. I am sure that you can find similar experiences to the ones I endeavor to undertake within a drive of your own locale.

Join me on this journey… and thank you for your attention and your patience!
