Hi, I’m just me.

A struggling person, trying to find peace and moments of happiness while walking in my trauma, enjoying the beauty of life, the lessons of pain and finding the path to resilience…oh and walking the distance with my dogs. My only family who have never flinched in the face of my struggle. I know they have souls because they have helped me find mine.

Shadows: The darker, reflective side of life—the struggles, the hidden pain, and the lingering effects of trauma.

Sparks: The moments of resilience, hope, and the drive to keep moving forward despite the darkness.

After enduring a couple of tours overseas with the military and almost 30 years of narcissistic abuse…. I am free.

This is poetry from the edge of the world.

My world.

It’s a hell of a view 🌊
