Beauty in All Shades and Colors
Woman is beautiful, woman is full of beauty.
The power to carry, birth, and sustain life.
Woman is timeless, the gift of femininity.
Woman is your mother, sister, daughter, aunt, wife.
Woman is a confidante in times of need
Woman is a comfort in times of difficulty
Woman is your partner, your greatest fan.
Woman is reflected in both you and me.

Positive Lyrics
Then I look at you,
and the world's alright with me
Just one look at you.
and I know it's gonna be...
A lovely day
-Bill Withers, A Lovely Day
and the world's alright with me
Just one look at you.
and I know it's gonna be...
A lovely day
-Bill Withers, A Lovely Day

Beauty-full poetry
A beauty indescribable,
Gaze upon my tapestry.
Even the imperfections,
Enhance its unique beauty.
The colors, the patterns,
All in Divine design.
This masterpiece is my life,
The story it tells is mine.
-Tiece
Gaze upon my tapestry.
Even the imperfections,
Enhance its unique beauty.
The colors, the patterns,
All in Divine design.
This masterpiece is my life,
The story it tells is mine.

Think Positive...and Positivity Will Come
We all have those moments. Those moments where we have to choose between what's right, and what's easy. Occasionally, the two merge...those are the golden moments. However, that isn't the norm. We tend to be our own worst enemy. We fall victim to the "what if's," the "but, if's," and the worst of all, the "I don't think I's..."
What would you do if you knew you wouldn't fail? That the "if's" didn't exist? That what you thought could, would be...what you could? Start low, and go slow. Would you make your bed every morning? Would you remember to tell people that you love them? Would you go back to school? Would you quit playing around and marry that person already? Would you learn to play an instrument? Learn a language? Travel? Start a business? Free yourself from the confines of negative thinking?
Do it! All you can do is fail. And if you do...try again. This time, with a little more wisdom and experience. Immerse yourself in positivity. Pray. Recite those positive affirmations. Reach out, and allow yourself to be within reach. Reflect. Meditate. Look outside of yourself. Be of service.
Wherever you draw strength from...surround yourself with the positive energy it brings to you. Your spirituality. Your connection. Your Supreme Being. Your Love. The Universe is just, and has balance. You reap what you sow...the negative and the positive. Karma is indifferent, develop a good relationship with her.
I also want to take this opportunity to send lots of prayers and positive energy to those in Japan. This is a big planet, but a small world. Embrace the connection.

Welcome
I decided to introduce my blog through a vehicle I find comfort in...poetry. It is my hope that this blog will be a place of empowerment, motivation, and inspiration. I hope to create a space that is grounded in positivity--positive thoughts, positive interactions, positive topics. I will strive to create a balanced space--none of us exist in a one-dimensional way, so I hope to reach out on multiple levels...the spiritual, the physical, the emotional, the mental, the metaphysical, and the social...just to name a few. Most of all, I am inspired to create a space that is cognizant of the beauty that exists in all of that which surrounds us...to be beauty-full. I will discuss a few of my own projects along the way as well. Blogging is new for me, so, as with all things...it is a work-in-progress. Welcome.....Be Positive, Be Balanced, Be Beauty-full
