Sometimes We Must Cut Our Losses Of The Heart ❤ And Move on!

~ thereluctantpoet

Do Not Miss This!!!

GlitzyRitzyMommy

In relationships or friendships love and respect work both ways if the balance is uneven well obviously it won’t work!

Those who know me, know my life (like most of you!) Is a juggling act! Between work and being a single mom of teens and just trying to do everything is hard! I have been strong enough to face the tough road alone because I wouldn’t settle and I won’t settle now even if the road is long and hard!

Those who don’t understand my chaotic life don’t belong in it

Those who don’t understand my heart will never know what they are missing

Those who never look in my eyes will never see the pure soul I own

Those whom never touch the softness of my lips 💋 will never have a passionate kiss

Those whom will never hold my hand will understand my strength 💪

Those who dismiss…

Why Is Everything So Black Or White …someone please tell me 💋

~ thereluctantpoet

Hasn’t happened in a long time I woke up very angry trying to understand why people are the way they are and why it is rare to find truth and vulnerability be beautiful and people be honest! What’s the facade? What am missing? Why over the past 13 or so years I have met and settled for all the wrong people in friendship and otherwise?

Things don’t have to be so hard if your honest with yourself and others …let go of proving yourself to have someone love you! Be you, be real and damn just live!!

I want to have fun and surround myself with honest people…I don’t want perfection, I don’t care about past mistakes, I don’t care if your not perfect …this goes for friends and future relationships ❤

Just be you!

And say it like it is …no games I am done playing …I figured this…

Heaven Waits

Walt's Writings

Heaven Waits

I know relatives and friends
are waiting for me
but there is no sense of time in heaven
When I arrive they will welcome me

Although I will be happy to see them all
I am happy in this life
and I have more to do
before I am ready to go

I will use the time I have left
to enjoy my wife, my family and friends
I will continue to write my poetry
and enjoy my animals

Until that time,
Heaven Waits

The 2020 Daily Writing Challenge – November 14

2020 Daily Writing Challenge

Writing is like driving at night in the fog.
You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
– E. L. Doctorow

Today is Day 319 of the 2020 Daily Writing Challenge.

Did you write yesterday?

My year-end countdown has begun, and what a wild ride 2020 has been. The adage says what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. I’m not dead, yet therefore I must be tougher right? The question becomes — How much can I accomplish before we ring in the new year?

It all starts with a well-conceived strategy, and mine includes a master list of 100 activities to help me reach my annual writing goal. It may sound impossible, but many items are almost insignificant and require fewer than 15 minutes to finish. They are micro-actions, minor jobs that, while they are crucial, they are the ones…

Coffee Time – Daily Quote

Let’s face it. Sometimes life sucks. And 2020 has served us a heaping hot mess of chaos, mayhem, and frightening circumstances for us to manage and overcome. Piled onto stacks of daily challenges, and ordinary tribulations, it is easy to get overwhelmed by frustration and succumb to feeling like no matter what we do, our best efforts are futile. We reel, caught in a whirlwind of an existence we cannot control.

I have a simple strategy for reestablishing my equilibrium — I make a cup of coffee. The process has become a ritual where I build a personal sanctuary, block the rest of the world, and concentrate on me, myself, and I. Nothing intrudes or interrupts my thoughts or the precise steps required. As my coffee brews, my focus revolves on where I stand in the here and now. When I allow my mind to wander, I ask myself, “Where…

November 14 Day 14 of NaNoWriMo 2020

Yesterday’s late-night writing session added another 300 words to my total. According to my NaNo stats page, I am on track to reach my goal in March.  The thought makes me smile, and it stifles the doubting voice in my head. The little devil whispers in my ear, telling me I can never finish a novel. If I allowed those words to influence me, I would give up. But I know better. Ray Bradbury said, “You fail only if you stop writing,” and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon.

Are you writing for NaNo?

How is Day 14 progressing?

Keep on writing.
