About me - Karla Hernandez

I think I'm a better photographer than a writer. I've been writing since I was very young (and got my first real camera when I was 12 and actually won awards for my photography.) I can't remember winning any awards for writing! But it's fun and I enjoy it

Parenting & Pregnancy > Pregnancy How I lost the weight I gained during pregnancy and got back my figure!: 2 of 56
I would always shudder when I heard women say things like, "I used to be so thin but after I had my kids I just never lost the baby weight." Before I knew any better those statements used to scare the bejeebies out of me. I'll never have kids, I promised myself. I could adopt, of course, should the desire ever hit me. I woul... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: One of these days: 2 of 34
I always hear, "One day we will", One day. One day always seemed like an eternity. The lies of the moment, One day, we will do it. One day, I will have it. One day, one day, one day. This is all I know. One day, I will have my dream. I will have my dream because one day, I decided to make it happen. When... More..
Sports & Recreation > Sports & Recreation (Other) The benefits of roller skating for fitness: 1 of 7
Skating is a great workout. I've been skating since I was pretty much old enough to walk. I started skating on the old "quads", or the four wheels back in the 70s. When I was 24, I started ice skating and did it nearly every day for two years. In the past two years I've taken up inline skating and I never get bored with it. I... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Life after death: 9 of 42
You do all you can do sometimes. You know, put yourself out there. Open your heart. Show compassion...be considerate. Sometimes you get nothing in return. And it shouldn't matter. But it does. Then after you get over it, if that's really what you call it, you wonder if you should even try anymore. Just be "there"...like ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Spiritual path: 8 of 37
Rather I waste away in the solitude and loneliness of my own hearth, or shall I be content to live amongst the ravenous exploits of this modern age? Tell you I might, that only infinity knows and I shall be, upon examination, the one so truly divine in my own steps. I shall be called upon this retreat, when the moon shin... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Running: 6 of 24
The pavement glistens, The roadway thickens, With three thousand pounding feet. Spectators stopping "Elvis" sings, while bopping To rhythm of the "Blue Suede Shoes" beat Up hills, faster breathing The runners, still seething That they didn't start out in a flash But, I pass whom I can And I ran past a man, ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Cloudy skies: 42 of 163
Each day comes a new dawn that shakes my spirit from the bowl a calling from the great Universe this is where the sun meets my soul Three weeks gloom, light hides its face I wonder if there is a sun at all I fall into gloom from my own fate Is it my fate that caused the sun to fall? In deep despair I hide my sun... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Hospitals: 6 of 18
I see the faces, Each with a pose, Leaving the place That houses the ill, A place for the dying They poise themselves- Some smiling, some crying. In empty passages, Some lost souls remain, Alone, I see them still Yet, no one came. A small slice of spirit Left in the passageways Of their lives. I stand h... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Your soul: 2 of 4
My soul withers, This empty place Stays with me Like a plague. I'm just a misfit, In a world of ordinaries The way of my soul Seemingly obvious In my tears, In my joys Empty I feel, There is no hope I cannot see it I am blind to my joys If joys there be Maybe I am to be An experimental spirit No hear...

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Unexpected pregnancy: 1 of 1
I can appreciate a miracle. Miracles happen every day to everyone. It may be a small insignificant event that you may not even notice or give any thought to. Miracles can be big or small and they happen all the time. This is my belief anyway. One of the most amazing miracles of life is the miracle of reproduction and birth. ... More..
