Art and creativity are so important. It gives people inspiration, hope, reasons to believe again. The power of your imagination is incredible, it gives birth to novels, paintings, sculptures, movies, poetry, music and so on.
I’m so blessed to have been given an imagination, and better yet the…

The Writer’s Address: A Stupid Revelation..
I am bein’ girly today
meetin’ a friend this morn
we’re going to gab,
chit chat and laugh
while our feet are soaked,
scrubbed and buffed
then our toes
polished in vivid hues
we’ll slip our flip flops on
talk a little more
hug goodbye
both of us feelin’ lighter
on the inside
after our time together
sharing hearts
over pedicures
two women
bein’ girly
my birthday present
a little early
from a wonderful friend
who insisted
on treatin’
Thank you, Kim!
I. Can’t. Wait.
Will see you soooooon!
Love,
Janean

Hooray for Today! What a wonderful way to start my day, reading these inspiring words for everyday, by Mike Frawley. ~ Janean
I envy the cat her nap.
I am a sucker for Happy Endings.
Well, I’m just at 13,250 words for NaNoWriMo on November 27, 2011. I’m not feeling too optimistic that I’m going to make 50,000 in time to officially complete it, and upload it in time to get ‘em all verified by midnight on November 30, 2011. I’ll keep writing though. Because I have to. ~ Janean
I dreamt crazy dreams last night
of things I don’t want to happen
not for a long time
anyway
yet in my dreams it felt so real
losing you
too soon
and being strong
through it all
lest I embarrass you
from Heaven
but it hurt so much
felt
so real
shaking hands at the visitation
crying at the funeral
with our children beside me
missing you too
I was so relieved
to realize
it was just a dream
and you are still here
to love in person
when I awoke
from another night
of crazy dreams

“go with the flow”
you hear it all the time
so eventually you do
because it’s exhausting
to swim upstream
against the current
day after day
month after month
year after year
it’s easier to float along
“go with the flow”
agreeing
pleasing
smiling
on the outside
until the day when
you’re tired of drifting
tired of the easy way
tired of the sameness
of each and every day
you feel a spark
of your old self
on the inside
so you start
swimming
paddling
fighting
your way upstream
once more
as the spark grows
into an eternal flame
and you reclaim
doused dreams
you are determined
to never
“go with the flow”
again

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
Mark Twain (via fifteenfeather)
