TO CLIMB AGAIN, MY KILIMANJARO

​Shining like a pot of gold
this light within--
my promised land.
I want to hold it in the
palm of my hand--
and truly understand
how the years of
ups and downs
dramas told, tragedy,
starting over,
moving around
built this composite of me-

That when reflected upon I see
as a bright, burning potential
taking misery to mission
changing pain into credential
Defined by my decision
to purify my heart's vision.

This brilliant treasure in my life--
Glistening Jewel that I possess
emanating from the Paradise
that exists inside of me--Nonetheless,
can seem so far away, I confess.

Peeling away false layers of reality,
I've learned to look beyond illusion
like fame or fortune in society
--such things are mere delusion;
Fleeting, empty, yet in *fusion*
with the total life, the picture whole;
The truth that everything connects--
from macrocosm to unique soul...

Oh, Power!
--that a single prayer injects into
​the story one person directs...
and if I am the actress upon this stage,
I wrestle like madness against all sorrow, in struggles and torment,

I raise myself to change tomorrow
To climb again, my Kilimanjaro...

    CAREGIVER

    In my Caregiver blogs, you'll find I understand the internal struggles and daily stress as a caregiver juggling entrepreneurial life.

    ​Based on my experiences, I offer a clear guide for developing positive self-care while transforming stress into powerful spiritual wellness.
