Marathon to Inner Peace, a Poem

Finishing the 2007 Nike Women’s Marathon

Many blessings to all! It’s been a while since I shared a poem. Enjoy, “Marathon to Inner Peace.” You will hear that we were challenged in my Writing to Wellness class hosted by Creative Suitland and facilitated by Spoken Word artist and Poet Extraordinare C. Thomas to write about the journey to inner peace…do you give up because it’s taking too long or keep going?

Healing is painful and is not a Sprint, just like in the picture above of me completing a marathon…it takes time to train for it, then you finish by running one step at a time at your own pace. However, the other side is a great reward and much deserved! You deserve to heal!

Your Broken Pieces are Beautiful

Inspirational moment:

Good day everyone! I know its been a while since I posted blogs and getting back to where I was around this time last year. After my grandmother transitioned in November of 2020, a lot of things came to a halt. Learning to live life without her is a process.

I know many of you may be going through a lot right now, some may have even lost a loved one like me recently. There’s so much going on in the world. I decided to share a video I recorded from last spring. The title of the poem I’m reading is, “Burning Burden.” Whatever doesn’t break us will make us stronger. I know that is cliche, but it is true. Even those who feel broken…as I learned in a course I took that our life is like a mosaic. No piece is perfect and when you step back and look at the bigger picture of broken pieces, it’s transformed into a beautiful masterpiece.

If no one has told you…you are beautiful no matter how many broken pieces you may have. Every bit is being transformed into a masterpiece. Many blessings.
