She is in all of us
.
As if against her will
She stood
at the edge of summer
Searching, waiting
A girl approaching adulthood
.
Stillness as she waited
For the answer
Her blue eyes open
Beautiful, soulful, perplexed
Gliding towards sophisticated
.
She realised
Eventually awakening
Enriched
She owns her own light
Racing from the darkness
Riding the storm
Leaving the backlash of adolescence in spite
.
Of what
.
Entwined and accepting life’s
lessons
She found sunshine
She is stronger because she had to be
Unwinding the yesterdays
To find beauty sublime
.
Where is she now?
.
She is fierce, full of fire
Confident in her being
Smarter from life’s mistakes
Knowing sadness has taught her about happiness
Flirting with joy, releasing past heartaches
.
She shines
like the world is new
Sweetness in her
transformation
She is real, she is whole authentic in herself
She is, our inspiration
.
She remembered who she was
And the game changed
.
Written as a reminder
she is in everyone one of us
.
Woman support woman
.

I have reached my fabulous 50s. Guess what, it’s okay. 20 years in the health and wellness industry. Educating men and women on the importance of nourishing their bodies with good food, moving with integrity, recharging their energy levels and empowering their minds. I love my job. A mother of two boys who are now men and my greatest achievement. A lover of words, an aspiring author with a book written and no idea where to go next, a poet who writes from the heart and her vulnerability. A foodie who loves to experiment, a salad lover , But not just your Every day salad, I throw in anything you can think of it ends up in my salad. I have a reputation for making the greatest weirdest salads around. As a total contradiction, I have a ridiculous sweet tooth.
I rescue abandoned souls in the bodies of dogs, an animal lover, Who sometimes likes animals more than humans. My teacher in life, my mother never ceases to amaze me. I am one fortunate human being who is filled with gratitude for the life she lives.
