Who am I?

I am
Kansas.

nesting box for songbirds
safe place for butterflies.

I am faithoverfear
new day
dawning sometimes.

I am the courage
to try.

I am the courage
to love.

I am weeding things from the garden,
I am writing a new chapter,
I am hope opening,
pages unfolding...
I am one step at a time,
taking back my life.
I am this
Rose slowly climbing...
reaching for the sun,
the beauty left behind me,
the moment yet to come.

My passion is ...

loving people

I know too much about ...

being hurt

My parents always told me ...

don't like to think about that!

My childhood ambition ...

to be a writer, what else?

My favorite memory ...

Yesterday, today, last week... I've been making a lot of them lately

Why I write ...

because if I didn't I wouldn't exist

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

silence- which I adore

My first job ...

babysitter

My best moment ...

this one

My inspiration ...

Inspiration can come from all sorts of circumstances, people and events in your life.

First and foremost God has been my greatest inspiration, all my life.
From my very earliest childhood memories of the little brick church my mother would take my brothers and I to, to just a few hours ago, listening to my friend prepare for the reading he is doing in church tomorrow...
It may sound like a pat response, but I assure you it's not. There have been many times in my life when Jesus was my only friend. I have strength and hope and faith and courage because of Him, and nothing else.
