Just Amazing!

Hello All!
I don't have much new to say. I'm still preparing the manuscript for my third book for printing and production. I'm also working on re-releasing the first two and I can't forget about my freelance work.
I was stressed from everything I had put on my plate and from the unrealistic deadlines that I set. It's all good now. I had to check myself. I had to remind myself of what I have already accomplished. I sadly had to remind myself to be thankful.
I'm sharing "Amazing" because, during the holidays, it is easy to forget about the little things. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle. We sometimes forget to look around and take note of the natural beauty that surrounds us.
I hope you take some time to stop and smell the poinsettias. I know I will!
See you next week.
Much Love,
Candie

Amazing!

Tell the story of
amazing things!

Like a fiery sun
and a bird with wings,
A roses’ petals,
A mighty oak’s leaves,
Hands to write and
lungs to breathe.

Doggies to pet and
cookies to consume.
The sweet personality
of my very own room,

Toes that curl and
cheeks that blush
Who could have thought
life would mean so much?

A stereo blasting
that stirs the feet,
And the big block party
that unites by beat.

A patient approach
to fulfilling my needs and
the faith of knowing
Who resides in me.

Tell the story
of amazing things!
Like a heart that loves
and a mind that thinks,

A spirit that grows
and what it explores.
Enough that is abundant
and requires no more.

A mouth with which to testify,
the human body that you use-
A glorious plan for your spirit,
found by exploring your truths.

Tell the story of amazing things!
Better yet, live it!

"Amazing!" is an excerpt
from Candidreams: I Remember the Beginning

My Favorite (A Love Poem)

Hello All!
Humans plan and God laughs. He certainly has been laughing at me over the last couple of weeks. My to-do list is ever growing. I can hardly keep up. There's no need lamenting that there aren't enough days in the week or hours in each day.
I won't bore you with the details of my list. Instead, I'm sharing a poem (in lieu of one of my favorite blogs from last year). It is a love poem. The subject is not a person or a place. It is about my passion and absolute love of writing.
Enjoy!
Much Love!
Candie

My Favorite

I only fit well
between these two pages,
gliding across time
engaging my various faces.
The ones that work
versus those that won’t-
the me’s that are the problem
are at times, the anecdote.

What could poison the air
sweetens my paper.
Experience has taught me well
to avoid unfulfilling capers
and to retreat from foolish things
before I become entangled and caught-
to learn successful strategies
from the battles I have fought.

Peace, for much too long
had been the prize of my fight.
A soul without peace
is a gut wrenching sight
and since the spirit of truth
has wrapped itself in my soul,
nothing will satisfy me
until my story’s been told.

My eyes remained on this prize,
evolution created its difference.
The spirit of truth communed with my soul
to form an everlasting commitment.

Is this love or a distraction?
Whichever way each life goes down-
there are wars that must be fought
and we all must choose our ground.

Paper is my favorite.

Author

I want to help uplift, inspire and empower others and to help leave the world a little better than I found it. I am an author, deep thinker & optimist. I know God is love. I am the author of "Candidreams: I Remember the Beginning" and "Role Reversal: Turn Pain Into Power".
It is never my intent to push my spiritual views on others. I'm just sharing some of my own story in hopes that you or someone else will gain from it and can find some strength and hope in it. As I am fond of saying: I'm just giving you a little personal information and insight. What you do with it is completely up to you!
