I thought I’d learn another lesson from this Lesson Tree
I closed my eyes and asked Spirit to help me see
I looked in the mirror and felt the energy
Show me the way to love clearly

I asked for courage to face my enemies
I asked for wisdom to know when it’s me
All of these mirrors in the people surrounding me
Teach me the way to listen carefully

How many times have I been told, 
“Girl, don’t fly so high, you’ll fall.”
But maybe if you’re never told 
to fear the ground you’ll float
And never quite come down,
Cuz once you’re in, you know 
it’s just a dream

I want to learn to live peacefully
Know how to bend with out breaking
None of these lessons worth learning are easy
Teach me to fear nothing and love fearlessly

How many times have I been told, 
“Girl, don’t fly so high, you’ll fall”
But maybe if you’re never told 
to fear the ground you’ll float
And never quite come down,
Cuz once you’re in, you know 
it’s just a dream

Spring 2020

I’ve been on autopilot, I’ve just been running programs
Mindless reacting, blindly stepping, now I’ve got blood on my hands
I’m not happy with this. No, it no longer serves me
. It’s not to my benefit, yeah I’m done with it 
I’m going to drop it and just start walking

I’ve been believing the things that the voice in my head says. 
It causes anxiety, fear and society keep me alone and separated
From the people I love and doing that which brings me joy

It feels like depression from the recession of the expression of LOVE

I’m the creator of my reality

What I perceive starts with me and what I believe

I will choose a new thought

derive new meaning 
with Love and Mercy

It’s incidental who or what triggers me
It’s an opportunity to look inside and see

What I’m believing that makes me feel this way

What I’m believing to think I deserve this pain

Well, I’m good enough, smart enough
A blessing to all who meet me

I’m Holy and I’m Redeemed
Awakening to the truth unseen
Awakening
 Awakening

I’m the creator of my reality

What I believe starts with me and what I perceive

I will choose a new thought
Derive new meaning 

Divinity in me will guide and lead

Summer 2016

Oh what a Beautiful Day to be alive
I got this “deep down inside feeling” that it’s all gonna be just fine
Oh what a beautiful day to be alive
I got this deep-down-inside-feeling that it’s all gonna work out just fine

Somedays are just a little better than others
You gotta hold on to that feeling
You’re going to need it, dearie
You gotta know, gotta know,
Gotta believe it down inside your soul that 

All is Well! All is Well!
This is your anthem now!

Oh what a Beautiful Day to be alive I got this “deep down inside feeling” that it’s all gonna be just fineOh what a beautiful day to be aliveI got this deep-down-inside-feeling that it’s all gonna work out just fine

When it feels like things are looking down
You gotta conjure up that memory
And start counting blessings
Let it go! Let it go!
Don’t resist the Ever-Flowing-Love that’s inside of you
You were meant to push on though

Oh what a Beautiful Day to be alive I got this “deep down inside feeling” that it’s all gonna be just fineOh what a beautiful day to be aliveI got this deep-down-inside-feeling that it’s all gonna work out just fine

Oh yeah, it’s all gonna be alright

2018

She’s standing at the edge with her heart caught in her throat
This feeling in her chest has got her doubting what she knows
She’s feeling angry, confused, fed up—don’t know what to do
A dangerous concoction beginning to brew

The collective anxiety
Is starting to kill me
On the inside
I she’s starting to believe
The world’s a scary place
There is no room for me
Collective anxiety is killing me

He’s staring at a land that he used to call his Home

Recently reduced to rubble by a war he never owned
He’s feeling angry, confused, fed up—don’t know what to do
A dangerous concoction beginning to brew

The collective anxiety Is starting to kill me
On the inside he’s starting to believe The world is a scary place
There is no room for me
The Collective anxiety is killing me
It’s killing me

Return to Safety

2018

I went to the well to pray, I pulled a penny out and I said, “Oh Lord, please come back to me. I’ve been waiting for so long. You see? They put a poison in my water and they clouded my skies!” I looked up to heaven and I was surprised I could no longer see the God who created me.

“They told me if I had the faith of a mustard seed, You would help me return to God IN me” So I put what I had into that penny, enough pure Faith and Love. I put the penny in the well, I said a prayer…or maybe a spell. I put the penny in the well, I said a prayer or maybe I cast a spell.

I put the penny in the well

I said, “reprogram me!

I want a system upgrade, I can’t go on afraid

I need a system upgrade, I’m just too afraid
I need a system upgrade, I’m just too afraid

I can’t keep on going

I need a system upgrade”

I heard them say, “You never are alone”


“You are never alone”

“Gather together, leave your weapons at the door and gather together”

Summer 2017

I’m not going to ask for anything more than what I have earned

I’m not going to ask for anything more than what I deserve

I’m not going to get my blood, sweat, tears returned

All I want is what I got coming to me

I’ve been through fire
I’ve been through rain

I’ve seen a drought 
and my share of pain

I don’t want your sympathy

and no charity 

All I want is what I got coming to me

What I got coming…

There ain’t no guarantees in this life,
I gotta gotta keep my chin up
Everybody’s got their own pain & strife,
I gotta get rid of my hang-ups

Living in the past with your ghost has gotta be the dumbest thing that I’ve ever done
And it’s eating me alive to realize the time that I’ve wasted on the prodigal son

I’ve been through fire

I’ve been through rain

I’ve seen a drought 
and my share of pain

I don’t want no sympathy

and no charity 

All I want is what I got coming to me

What. I’ve got coming…

I gotta have a lot of good coming to me
 cuz I give what I can to my friends and family

I try to live my life by this philosophy:

“Give what you can and take only what you need”

I’m not claiming to be a saint, cuz I’m a sinner. 
I just like to help those who are blessed a little thinner
. We’re all gonna have a dark chapter in our lives when it feels like the sun is not shining so bright. So the best that can happen in those times of trouble 
is to have friends and family who are there on the double, cuz we’re all gonna say someday…


I’ve been through fire…

Winter 2012

I kissed the devil’s lips just to prove I could
I kissed them one more time, he said, “It is good”

We danced and danced and did a little jig

That devil boy, that devil boy—he knew what I did



I begged and I pleaded for him not to tell

He was determined to make my life a living hell

So we danced and we danced and did a little jig

That devil boy, that devil boy, oh he knew what I did

He’s pinned me to the ground with his foot on my throat making threats at me

I’m crying, “Mercy me! How did I get down in the dirt with the Serpent King?”


I lived for many years with that dark secret

He never let me forget he was privy to it

So I danced and I danced for that little devil shit

That devil boy, that devil boy, oh he new what I did

He’s pinned me to the ground with his foot on my throat making threats at me
I’m crying, “Mercy me! How did I get down in the dirt with the Serpent King?”

I decided I was stronger than the fear inside

So, I rose and looked the devil straight in eye
“The only power you have is which I give to thee

I’m taking my power back

I’m taking my power back
I’m taking my power back

The power is within me!”

Spring 2012/Summer 2017

My cup overfloweth
I feel the joy burning in my soul
It is eradicating 

The hate that’s been in my heart burning holes

Learning to appreciate
Everything that comes my way
Never ceasing praise
Giving thanks
Even in the darkest of days

I will learn to sing Praise
Even in the darkest days

My joy grows

I feel the Love flowing through my soul
It’s resonating
Shaking fear from my throat

Learning to appreciate
Everything that comes my way
Never ceasing praise
Giving thanks
Even in the darkest of days

I will learn to sing Praise
Even in the darkest days

I’ve got another chance to get on your “merry-go-round”?
No thanks. I’m good.

See, my head’s been clear for a little while now and I’m out of the woods
You couldn’t pay me to go back, you’d have to catch me in a net, 

But, I’m stronger still

Even more than before. You put a bolt on every door and I melt it with my will

Everything you said before doesn’t matter to me anymore

I AM amazing

I AM strong and still

I intend alignment

With Divine Creator’s will
You don’t got a hold on me now

I set my course
I chose my path
Opened my heat
feet in the grass 

Released my guilt

Shame and fear not welcomed here

Anything reducing my cheer is counteractive to my deal

Set apart I heal my heart

nourishing souls is my new goal
And I’m able to see the change is something real,
Not always seen, but I can feel it and if you try, I bet you will

Anything you said before doesn’t matter to me anymore

I AM amazing

I AM strong and still

I intend alignment

With Divine Creator’s will

You don’t got a hold on me now

I do not come on my own authority
I am an angel of the Light
It goes against your conventional wisdom, but
 this is my right

I do not come on my own authority
I am in service of the Light

I leave you here now where I found you

In the corners of the night

I had to get free baby, I’ll tell you what I had to do

I had to let go of everything I thought I knew

I took a walk out in the jungle baby,
I climbed a very tall tree

I had a cry and listened to the breeze

It told me if you want to fly higher than you ever thought you could
you gotta dream bigger and step to the beat

And when you are flying higher you get a bird’s eye view

Somethings are smaller, but you get a broader view

I’m letting it go
I’m laying it down
It’s not like it doesn’t matter
It’s about self-preservation now

It’s not alright—the way all of this feels
It’s not ok. I’m turning on my heels

Cuz what you did was wrong

And how you’re being is calloused 

I’m no longer playing along

But I release my malice
What’s done is done

I said what needs to be said
This conversation now is dead

It’s alright if you do not understand
It’s Ok—let the conversation guide your way
It’s alright, If you do not understand
It’s OK, let the consequences guide your way

I’m not playing your games anymore

I heard you lie between your teeth
You said I'd always be alone
You told me no one would ever want me
But now it's over and your gone

You said the past would always find me
And wherever I do roam
You would be right behind me
But it's time to move on


I feel you in the wind sometimes
I feel you something strong
I feel the winds are blowing in

And there's a storm

So it's time to get moving along… it's time we be moving on

I heard you lie between your teeth
You said somethings never change
I know that something is different about me
And I hope that you're not the same

There's nothing noble about forgiveness 
I'm as selfish as anyone
This angers no longer serves me
It's a burden and I'm done

I feel you in the wind sometimes
I hope your heathy and you're strong
You know the past really had a hold on me
But I'm ready to move on

And I know I've tried
But your ghost lingered at my door
And God knows I've tried
But I can't do it on my own

I surrender...

It’s hard not to feel lost
. Not always easy to be found. Count your blessings 
and you might be surprised.

Turn your heart to gratefulness, especially when 
it seems as though 
the world is against you

You know it’s a cycle
, you’ve been here before 
and it’s not easy 
when you feel everything

Hold on
 though we’re apart I feel it too
You’re not the only one 
who feels this way

We all come from One Love

When one is hurting we all feel it too
Sometimes we are 
strangers feeling collective pain

One day this illusion will fade away and we’ll see we’re in heaven
No more pain, no more suffering

One Love holds us all together and there’s still enough to make a change
Hold on, don’t give up, don’t loose hope we’re all in this together and we can make a change

Love yourself

Love one another

We gotta love on each other
Give your love and it’s gonna come back to you

Back to you

Tragedy, please pass over me
Tragedy, please pass over me
I’m feeling lucky now
I’m feeling lucky now

Some of us draw the short stick
Some of us are more fortunate
Some of us, it’s how you look at it
So remember to give thanks
For what we have got

Clarity, please wash over me
Clarity, please come set me free
I’m feeling hopeful now
I’m feeling hopeful now

Perception, it’s the key to my freedom
Perception.
I won’t let the fear hold me back
I won’t let it hold me back
