Savory Dreams

**

I love hamburgers

Well-seasoned patties of beef

Cooked to perfection

Layers of cheese melting slow,   

Each bite a savory dream

Embrace Your Evolution

Love who you are now

Not who you were yesterday

That’s a fools errand

Embrace the new inspired you

For there is no one quite like you

What Have I Been Working On?

What have you been working on?

I’ve been focusing on a few important things in my life. First, I’ve been trying to better myself. This means learning new skills and taking care of my health. I believe that small changes can lead to big improvements, and I’m excited about the journey.

Another key area I’m working on is believing in myself. It’s not always easy, but I’m learning to trust my abilities and take on new challenges. Whether it’s trying something new or reaching out to others, I know that self-confidence will guide me and my close and great friends.

Finally, I’ve been drawing for a friend’s book he wants to publish. It’s a fun and creative project that allows me to express myself. I love being part of something special that can bring joy to others.

WARLOCK
WITCH
CRONE


The crony witch and warlock went out on the town,
With potions and spells, they danced all around.
With a flick of her wand,
And a spell that was fond,
They turned every frown to a giggle and gown!

TINSEL
GLITTER
GOWN

Sally was up for a prestigious award,
A moment of glory that she truly adored.
The ceremony beckoned, all dressed in black tie,
Excitement and nerves danced, like stars in the sky.

She needed a gown that would suit the grand night,
One that shimmered and glowed, a true vision of light.
Through countless stores, she wandered and searched,
But nothing enchanted, her hopes slightly perched.

Then, on the day of the event, her heart took a chance,
A gown in a tinsel color—oh, what a glance!
With each step she took as she slipped it on,
She glittered and sparkled; her worries were gone.

Right away, she knew, this was the dress,
A stunning reflection of beauty and finesse.
She’d be the hit of the ceremony, without a doubt,
In a world full of whispers, her joy would shout.

So, off to the gala, with dreams shining bright,
Sally stepped forth, ready to dazzle the night.
With laughter and cheers, the moment drew near,
In that tinsel gown, she conquered her fear.

Something Most People Don’t Know About Me?

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

We all have little secrets or sides of ourselves that we keep hidden. Sometimes, these are silly things, and other times, they can be a bit deeper. Today, I want to share something that might surprise you: I have a dirty mind!

Now, before you jump to conclusions, let me explain what I mean. Having a “dirty mind” doesn’t always mean that I think about inappropriate things all the time. It’s more about seeing the funny and naughty side of everyday moments. I often find myself laughing at jokes or situations that might make others blush.

For example, during a serious conversation, I might suddenly think of a cheeky joke. It’s not that I mean to be disrespectful; it’s just that my mind tends to go in unexpected directions. I appreciate humor, especially when it has a playful edge. It brings a fun twist to life and can lighten up even the dullest moments.

Even though I might have these funny thoughts, I can be quite serious too. I love deep conversations and meaningful connections. I value respect and kindness, and I don’t take my silly thoughts too far. It’s all about balance.

Just know that there’s a playful side to me that finds joy in the unexpected. Embracing this part of myself has helped me connect with others who appreciate laughter and light-heartedness in a world that can sometimes be heavy.

Too much pondering
Will give you a big headache
Do not overthink
In stillness, I find my way,
Letting go of endless thoughts

 Dance of Dragonflies

Dragonflies pair up
Coupled closely in midair,
United as one.
Sunlight glints off their warm wings,
A dance in the summer sky.

Lazy Days 

Daily writing prompt
Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

Lazy days offer me a precious opportunity to pause and take a breath. In our fast-paced world, these moments of stillness are essential. They allow me to step away from the demands of daily life and indulge in simple pleasures. These days serve as a reminder of the importance of self-care. After a week filled with responsibilities, it’s refreshing to slow down, allowing both my mind and body to rest. I often find that during these times, I can reflect on my goals and reconnect with my thoughts in a way that’s not always possible when I’m busy. When I return to my tasks after such a day, I feel invigorated. The mental clarity and creative energy I gain are invaluable.

 Bill Gates Exemplifies Success

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

When I think about the word successful, the first person who comes to mind is Bill Gates. I admire his amazing achievements as the person who started Microsoft and for his work in giving back through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. I think he’s successful because he’s come up with new and helpful ideas in the technology world and because he’s really committed to making the world healthier and smarter for everyone.
