Because of you.

Because of you.

Take a break and breathe. This is your life also and you do matter. Always remember, no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself and living your life without all the pressures of what you must do for yourself. Because just knowing you have the freedom to do nothing is up to you. But do you want to feel alive and loved again. 
Sometimes in our lives we meet someone that puts that smile on our face. Makes us feel secure and safe. I say if it feels right
Do it Because of you. 
Song credits Fallen Within Band
Because of you.

Let's share "Unity" with the world.

Let's share "Unity" with the world. 

Unity will and can exist if we all come together and Love one another. Let the hate go and the power to own others.
Lend a helping hand when needed. Put our selfish pride aside and decide to make a difference.

We can make this a better world even if it's one person at a time. Yes it's possible, Yes unity can and shall exist. Just listen to the lyrics of this song and I say lets, 
Love one another right now.

Let beauty find you.

Let beauty find you.
I love this song! on my worse days I listen and just cry and in the end after all of the tears-I
am smiling again!

I've got a secret "Shhh".

I've got a secret "Shhh".
If i came to you with a secret,
What would you do?.
Keep it to yourself.
Tell because your a Friend,
or just tell because it's,
"Gossip".

(1.) I just found out i have stage 4 Cancer, I have 3 months to Live.
(2.) I've been Gay now for 12 yrs. Why am I still Hiding I'm ashamed to tell.
(3.) I've been having an affair for 2 Yrs. Now I want a divorce.
(4.) Today is the day i will kill myself!!.
Now that I've told you my secret
in confidence, Who will you tell ? and what will you do ?.

(1.) Would you feel sorry for me now that I'm "Dying" and become my Friend.
(2.) Would you go with me, to tell my Family & Friends that I'm "Guy".
(3.) Would you tell my "Husband" of 15 years Married.
Maybe tell his "Wife" that is bed ridden with a disease.
(4.) Would you take the "Knife" away before I slice my wrists and get me help.
Now if these are true and i only told you , Now tell me my "Friend" What will you Do ?.
How can we expect others to keep our secrets if we have not been able to keep their's to ourselves.
Would you tell out of concern or because you think it's the right thing
to do.

"For this is why i write.”

We who write stories know that they are about everything good or bad that happens in ones life. Our stories can speak the truth and sometimes our words hurt deep. We as writers also owe it to our many readers to help them understand our stories the best we can.

I write because somewhere out there is a need to read that story. Someone who will read it and have a different feeling or maybe a new outlook on life. Someone who without the story would not be a different person. And hoping those who read our stories may be given hope, strength, kindness, and courage and forgiveness.

Existing or Living

Existing or Living. 

Existing is merely breathing and doing our daily chores. I personally feel that the biggest difference in living and existing is the amount of control you have on your life, on your emotions and on your decisions you make in life. 

We find it easy in life to just do what we’re told never making decisions for ourselves. Some of us watched our mothers go through this growing up. Which that was the way to live in the era. They stood in the shadows wanting to speak up but always staying silent. Now is a new era where decisions are shared. We no longer  have to stand in the shadows we can speak up and be heard. 

Today is a different era we have options. We can go to college. We can have a career and still raise our children and manage our marriage. In today’s world we have stay at home dads who would of never thought that would happen. It’s not just mothers that raise their children alone in today’s world. It’s fathers, grandparents, and sad to say even foster homes. Is this because we were just Existing and not Living.

Love yourself and Smile often.

Love yourself and Smile often.


The most important and worthy  relationship we will have in our lifetime is with ourselves. No one can feel what our hearts feel. No one can feel our hurts the way we do. Self compassion and dedication is showing up to that relationship with yourself through honesty and living life for yourself not through others and what you wish it could be.


You don't have to chase the extraordinary moments to find happiness. It will be right in front of you if your paying attention and practicing gratitude for the things you can do and not waiting to receive it from others. Love yourself, Live your life through the moments you have accomplished on your own and in your life that will keep you Smiling.

"The beauty of "Arkansas Sunsets".

"The beauty of "Arkansas Sunsets".

Welcome to my "World" and the beauty of Arkansas Sunsets.

As the sunset fades and blends into an open view. It can also becomes a darkened world which at any given moment anything can surprise us and open us up to new awakenings in our Souls.

There's nothing better than a beautiful sunset. There are things we all see at different times and places around the world. Some may never get to see the beauty in your world. 

So i want to share the beauty of my world. Sometimes at the right moment you can step outside and be amazed by the
"Breathtaking Sunsets" that Arkansas has to offer. One can sit outside and inhale it's beauty. Knowing that's when we can let our "Imagination and Soul" become one.

My Angel my Mother.

My Angel my Mother.


I dedicate this to my Mother, My heart is so lost i'm trying to be strong. I know i have your strength to carry on.


My Heart is aching beyound belief

because i miss you the most. I lay awake at night, hoping to see your Ghost. They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true. When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel just like you. A bird brings the message back to the world, and sings a silent prayer, knowing it will be heard. People disappear, but we never really know why. Always remember this my daughter i'm always by your side.


The spirits up here put the sun to bed,

and spin the earth in dizzy circles.

Sometimes you can see them dancing,

in a cloud during the daytime, when they're supposed to be sleeping.

We paint the rainbows and also the sunsets, and make the waves splash. 

We toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when you here the wind sing , and feel a soft gentle touch. 

It's us the dancing spirits whispering.

Don't miss me too much it's  nice and I'm doing just fine. 

"Because I'm forever beside you and have been all this time".

I don't really care next !!!!!

I don't really care next !!!!!

What is wrong with our Government I can name 1000 reasons but I won't. I will name a few as an example. 

1. It seems like programs are put in place to help those in need !!!!! The problem is they never work together to get their information right. One agency has some information and 4 other agencies have the rest. 

2. Common sense is for the local agencies, Like, DHS, Social Security Offices, The Courthouse, Child Support and others need to work together. One must wonder how these jobs obtained or can one just apply with one day of training and their it is you get the job. 

3. One must wonder how easy it is to get a job at a local or government agency that holds the personal information of millions of people. It's just aggravating to know that they send us to 3 or 4 different agencies just to get one thing right about anything that pertains to our case that they should already know.

4. Why is it that it's 2016 and the local and state agencies still have not combined or updated their records and facts. Tell me where you can go to 1 office and get things done right. To me their is no reason for this except I call this bad management and training on all levels of? I don't really care next.

We all have Rights -We all should matter. Stop the Racism. Stop the killings.

We all have Rights -We all should matter. Stop the Racism. Stop the killings.

We All Matter, You are not alone. My name is ? My color is ? My religion is ? My profession is ?. These should not matter. This does not give anyone the right to shoot and kill another out of hate. This world has become a place that is not safe for us or our children. I also wonder does anyones life really matter. Yes they should!!!!


I live down the road from you. I've played with your kids. We have all attended local functions together. I am married I have 2 children I work at a local factory. I also have a permit that gives me the right to carry a gun. This does not give me the right to kill others unless my family or my life is being threatened. Then I have the right to shoot or to maim them. This does not give another human being the right to kill me dead. If I'm being peaceful then listen to me. If I'm being uncontrollable then find a peaceful way to arrest me but don't kill me.
