Personal Reflections and Creative Process
Step into my workspace. These are the snippets of my soul, works-in-progress, and the quiet moments where I find words for feelings we often keep hidden.
Here I am reading a few lines from one of my favorite poems, "Beach House." I love reading my work aloud, as it gives the words a different kind of life. The poem dreams of a life where sorrows are buried and a garden of hope is grown in their place.
A black and white video where I share a letter for someone you love but haven't spoken to in a while. It's about speaking your heart's truth, expressing unconditional love, and hoping for a shared future without expectation.
A candid black and white photo of me laughing freely in nature. This is me in my element, full of joy and light. It's a reminder to embrace the simple, happy moments.
An update on my work-in-progress, a poetic novel called "Blue Moon Butterfly." This quote, "Keep hoping, until you arrive at faith," is a central theme of the book and a mantra for my own writing journey.
Another quote from my upcoming book, "Blue Moon Butterfly." It's a reminder that healing is not about bypassing pain, but about allowing yourself to truly feel everything first. The journey through is the only way out.
About Personal Reflections
Writing is not always polished, and that is exactly the point. In these reflections, I share raw drafts from my upcoming poetic novel, Blue Moon Butterfly, and the unfiltered videos where I read my work aloud. When you see the messy, handwritten corrections on my pages, know that it comes from a place of genuine, unedited emotion.
I believe that art should feed souls, not machines. This cluster is where I pull back the curtain on my creative journey. You will find videos of me reading poems like Beach House, where I explore the idea of growing a garden of hope on the soil of our buried hurts. It is not about performance. It is about speaking truth to whoever needs to hear it.
You will also see snapshots of my work-in-progress, Blue Moon Butterfly. Writing this novel has been a lesson in faith. For over 1.5 years, I have been living these emotions, putting them down one word at a time. I share these quotes—like 'You should feel, before you can heal'—because they are mantras for my own survival. If you are stuck in your own creative block, my hope is that seeing my drafts reminds you that it is okay to be a work in progress.
My process is built on imperfection. Typos and bad grammar are only natural when you are writing from a place of honesty. If you find yourself resonating with these reflections, consider joining my monthly letter subscription, Love Posted. It is my way of sending a little hug by post, with original poetry and handwritten notes, ensuring my words land in your hands rather than disappearing into the internet.
