Write Up

I love combining blue with bright pink to create a beautiful color pallet. In this painting, each heart is a bit different but they all come together to form one painting. In a way, Pink Heart Party shows us that we even when we seem similar each one of us is unique and we can come together to create something of beauty.

Never Repeat (a poetry reading)

by tiffanyPoetry, recorded January 7, 2021December 8, 2020No Comments

I'll Wait: A Throwback Video

Back in 2013 I wrote and posted Never Repeat. The next year I did a poetry reading of it. I was then going to put it in To Love, but as I edited it and focused the book on the love the poem didn’t fit anymore. Now I get to share it with you here, again.

Never repeat
not a single word
only write your heart,
the soul deep inside.
Let out one song
singing it loud
be proud
of the depths that are felt
dreams while live.
Remember this day
happens but once so
shine light with smiles,
cherish love
and see everything;
never repeating
not a single word.

The Sea: A Throwback Post

I'll Wait: A Throwback Video

This is a throwback post to an older piece of poetry for me, called The Sea. I originally wrote this in college. It was for a class that I took I believe in 2007. I then edited in 2013 and again in 2016 for both editions of my first poetry book, Growing Poems.

In Feburary 2019 when I wanted to get more serious about promoting my writing and art I recorded the poem as a poetry reading. I never posted that reading here, so in my efforts to make sure everything I do is on this site I am sharing it with you today.

I do hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think.

In Times: A Poem

In Times A Poem

In times of sorrow
hold me near.
In times of joy
show me you care.
In times of worry 
protect me from my fear.
In times of peace
help me stay aware.
In all times, in every way
show me your love, my dear.

My Helpful Journal Prompts

My Helpful Journal Prompts

I love journaling. It is a great way I can start my day mentally organized and with my feelings in check. Writing down things helps me get the day off on the right foot.

Part of my journaling time is spent bullet journaling, which is basically making lists. I love making lists, so this is very helpful and enjoyable. My lists also charge me up and put a positive spin on my day.

The topics/ lists are:

Dreams/ Ideal Life
- This is where I will list out the things I want to happen.
Why I’ll Make It
- I was feeling discouraged a while back and had a hard time believing my dreams and goals would come true. I wanted to change my outlook, so I listed out reasons I will achieve everything I set my mind to. This list recharges me each time I write it. It is interesting to see how my reasons change from day to day.
Woo-hoo Moments
- I tend to look to the future and forget that I am doing good things now, as you can tell by the first two bullet journal ideas. Writing lists about good things I’ve done the day before helps me stay present and reminds me to look for the good stuff in the day ahead of me.
Gratitude
- I think this is self-explanatory. I list out things I’m grateful for, whether it’s the sun shining, a good cup of coffee, or an answered prayer. It’s important to make sure you take time to be thankful for what you have.
Prayer
- I like to journal out my prayers to keep track of them. Also, I pray out loud and in my head. If I do pray out loud it’s easy for me to lose track of the prayers. When my prayers are jotted down on paper, then I can refer back to them and know God answered a prayer.
Shema
- Shema statements, as I know them, are brief statements that reflect your love and commitment to God. The practice of journalling them is so I can practice different ways that I could bring up my faith to others. My theory is that if I am continually looking for ways to say I love God then when I have a chance in public to do so I won’t have to think of the words to say. I’ll already have them in my head because I’ve journaled a bunch of different ways.

I hope my journaling prompts help you or you at least found enjoyment and insight from them.

Dreams Fighting Reality (poetry reading): A Throwback Post

by tiffanyPoetry, recorded December 3, 2020October 23, 2020No Comments

Dreams Fighting Reality is a poem I wrote a while ago. I recorded it as a poetry reading back in 2014.

Dreams Fighting Reality

My dreams danced away together
from my very own reality.
Like ballerinas trapped within my mind
They danced away 
so I could not find the love I wanted;
The love I wished was mine.
Yes, my dreams slowly danced away
when reality told me
he was here to stay
But he seems to have strayed
because here comes my dreams
on this new day.
My dreams once again dance near by
as I force my reality to be mine.
Because this fight for what is right,
what is fair and what must be
has left a hole deep inside of me
so I fight to keep my dreams
and I fight to change my reality

Changing To A Dance: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry December 1, 2020November 25, 2020No Comments

Changing To A Dance a Poem

I'm changing this fight
into a dancce.
I will not war
not against my own life.
Instead the trumpets
will be the rhythm of my feet.
Turn the battle cries 
into songs of praise.
This will be a new day,
one with no more fighting
 not against my own life.
I'll allow the ebs and flows
to direct my dance,
know it's God's will.
I will follow.
I will go.
He leads, I follow,
without a fight,
just a dance.

Count The Rhymes A Poem

One, Two, Three, Four
Where is the open door?
Is there an opportunity for me?
Am I walking closer to you?
Are all the right things done?

Four, Three, Two, One
The race will be won.
As I draw close to you my spirit flew
each opportunity will set me free
to follow the one I adore.
