Blooming One

An original poem to inspire faith and remind those that anything can change to make your dreams come to life. Bloom as only you can do!

Blooming One

Hey readers! With the obvious change of season, I felt it necessary to keep your spirit boosted. The word "change," can mean so many things, but coming from one season to the next can, in itself, be different too. Don't be ashamed if you aren't beaming with joy for spring; winter can be unkind to us all. However, I try to use my writings to encourage you to be positive for yourself and be where and who you want to be. Anything is entirely possible. You just need some faith. Enjoy the rain and sunshine; make them yours to keep!



The frozen ground long forgotten

Gave way to whispers of the warm breeze

My skin prickled in anticipation

'Is this a dream? Could this be?'

The memories of cold caught in my throat

But the tears of feeling such an embrace

Overtook any unsureness and melted me

My tongue felt like honey as it spoke

'Spring is here, once again.'

Like a spell, sealed with love and purpose

I was prepared to live, truly live

My mind was weary and almost gave up

The icy prison of the previous weather

Heavily had its way into my soul

But she, spring, made way to believe again

Like the crisp rains, my spirit sang freely

'Purpose, I know you keep me dancing.'

For so long, it seemed as if the day-to-day

Meant only what people said

However, in this change, I come to life once more

To conquer what I waivered in before

I am as strong as anything

I am as solid as rock

I am a foundation for myself

Breaking away from the crowded flock

I make my own journey and destiny

Just by the changing of the seasons

I feel so envisioned

Oh, how such an emotion surges through me!

The sun breaks through the clouded skies

And warms the cool ground almost

Like the soft kiss from a mother to her newborn

The flowers cannot wait to bloom

As, do I

Watch me, as I fully bloom

Into a flower not found in any garden

Uniquely, the spring calls me

Blooming One

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
