I’m sorry my words have been so dim as of late – for a long time now really. They’re lacking the beauty and happiness I swore I’d share when this site begin six years ago. There was sadness then and I wanted joy to survive the pain I felt, so I came here to teach myself to recieve happiness.
I’m going to do my best to share my light and the acceptance of myself again – the joy I know exists inside my heart. There is a little girl inside of me hurting something terrible. I owe it to her to show her beauty again, so I must try.
Not sure if it’ll be short stories as it was in the beginning (she likes those) or poems & photography, which aren’t perfect or winning any awards, but reflects what I see and feel. Bringing me much closer to love.
100 thank yous to those who still linger in my words. You are appreciated.
Hope to see you around,

We’ve always been here
Some of us just lingering in the silence
Like a soft rain on a Sunday morn
Awaiting the beautiful sound
Of the sparrow
Thank you for always sharing your light so honestly… so beautifully…
Like your wonderful photo shows us… there are often clouds that veil the hillside
But the beauty is always there
Welcome home

Do not apologize, Audrey, but do take good care of yourself. I care about you deeply and you must care about yourself. Life is uneven and sometimes cruel, but there are moments of joy and beauty and glory. You are worth everything, you are worth everyone. Be gentle and kind to my sweet friend, Audrey.

I accept myself for all the shortcomings I have. I must. I try to be better than the day before but sometimes I fail. I am human. I care for those around me. I’ve gotten used to waiting. I thrive on very little and I’m used to it. As long as everyone has what they need I can rest. I have joy. It may not come in the package I need but it finds me.
