POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Children Of War- the battles they didn’t start, the ones that they fight with themselves, the ones they must to survive, for all the battles, for all the sorrow, for all the loss, for all the pain.

I weep for them all

Hello Beautiful Souls ✨️✨️

Sometimes the shield is not something placed before us.

Sometimes it is the truth we survived long enough to write.

Every wound became language. Every silence became testimony. And beneath the quiet acknowledgment of God, I discovered that the strongest protection I would ever carry was already flowing through me.

The ink is dipped in my blood, but the story is still mine to command.

Stay Awake 🪬🧿

Much love and light.✨️✨️💛💛

Hello Beautiful Souls ✨✨✨

There are moments when the soul becomes weightless enough to remember what it survived.

This reel is a journey through stillness, transformation, faith, and release. It begins in the sacred place where thoughts lose gravity, then moves through the fire that tried to consume us, only to reveal what could never be destroyed.

Sometimes shelter arrives with wings. Sometimes healing asks us to release questions we were never meant to follow. And sometimes awakening is simply recognizing that every version of us, the stardust, the ashes, the wounds, and the light, has carried us closer to who we were always becoming.

My poetry collection, Whispers Behind Closed Doors, is now available on Amazon. Within its pages live the quiet truths, hidden grief, love, spiritual awakenings, and moments of becoming that inspired this reel.

Stay Awake 🪬🧿
Thank you for your continuous support.❤️🙏🏽
Much love and light.✨️✨️✨️

The Shepherd

I do solemnly swear
To protect you at every turn
At every impasse

To keep watch in the dark
When you close your eyes

To advocate
To guide
To educate
To caution
To raise up
To support
To alert
To advise
To believe
To encourage
To listen
To read between the lines

TO PROTECT

Because no one knows you better than I
As you learn to know yourself

No one
And I repeat no one
Loves you more than I

And I am here
I will never not
Watch over you
No matter your size

And I will always be there
I have a duty of care
And I take it very seriously
Because I have your best interest at heart
Above all others

That is something you can trust

Be scrupulous my child
Critical thought is a dying trend
It requires analysis

Beware the sheep
In wolves clothing
Learn to shepherd
Your own mind

Hello Beautiful Souls ✨✨

Sometimes, truth does not arrive through confession or confrontation. Sometimes, it enters quietly, settling into the space between two people until silence reveals what neither is ready to say.

This poem reflects the strange grief of remaining beside someone while the memory of who you once were together begins to fade. Love has not completely disappeared, yet it no longer knows where it belongs. What remains is distance, stale air, and two people sitting at opposite ends of something neither has found the courage to leave.

Written in response to September Prompt No. 8: “A truth that arrived disguised as silence” by @the.abyss.ink.society. Thank you for the beautiful inspiration.

Stay Awake 🪬🧿

Hello Beautiful Souls ✨✨

“He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”

Daniel 2:22

There are seasons when we are asked to trust what has not yet revealed itself. We reach through darkness, uncertainty, and silence, believing that something sacred is still moving beneath the surface.

Perhaps darkness is not always an absence of light. Sometimes it is the quiet place where God conceals what is still becoming, protects what is not ready to be seen, and prepares our eyes for revelation.

Whispers Behind Closed Doors was written within that sacred distance between what is hidden and what is finally brought into the light.

Now available on Amazon. Thank you for continuing this journey with me. 🤎📖✨

Hello Beautiful Souls ✨✨

Some truths do not announce themselves loudly. They wait in the shadows, behind closed doors, beneath the words we were once too afraid to speak.

This figure’s gesture is not merely asking for silence. It is inviting us to listen more deeply. Beyond the illuminated doorway lies the unknown, but perhaps the unknown is where we finally encounter the hidden parts of ourselves.

Whispers Behind Closed Doors was born within that sacred space between silence and revelation. Today, the door is open, and the whispers are ready to be heard.

Now available on Amazon. Thank you for walking through this doorway with me. 🤎📖✨

Hello Beautiful Souls✨️✨️✨️

Not every ending asks to be repaired. Some constellations disappear because their light has already taught us everything we were meant to know.

Today, I release the stories I once carried behind closed doors.

Whispers Behind Closed Doors is officially available on Amazon. Thank you for walking beside me from the first whisper to this unforgettable moment. 📖✨

Hello Beautiful Souls✨️✨️

Sometimes, the woman approaching in the distance is not a stranger. She is the version of you who survived, healed, and finally remembered her own power.

Perhaps true sight begins when we stop searching for someone to save us and recognize the divine strength that has been walking toward us all along.

Hello, Beautiful Souls✨️✨️

Rarity has never needed to announce itself.

There are souls whose light is not offered carelessly. Their love does not wander toward every hand extended before them. It waits, it listens, and it answers only to what recognizes its sacredness.

Selective Love is a reflection on the quiet discernment of a woman who understands that being unseen does not make her ordinary. While others search for light, she has learned how to absorb it.

Discover the complete poem in Whispers Behind Closed Doors: A Collection of Poetry, available August 31.

Hello, Beautiful Souls✨️✨️

Some burdens were never meant to remain within us.

Sometimes healing begins when we surrender our sorrow to something greater than ourselves. The ocean listens without judgment, carrying away what has become too heavy and returning us to ourselves a little lighter.

Resilience is not always loud. Sometimes it moves quietly, like water, softening what has wounded us and revealing the strength that remained beneath it all.

Whispers Behind Closed Doors: A Collection of Poetry will be released on August 31 and is now available for preorder on Amazon.

Hello Beautiful Souls, 🤍✨

There are moments in life that remind us how extraordinary human connection can be.
Sometimes it isn't found in grand declarations, but in something far quieter... a hand that reaches for yours, a kiss that asks for nothing except your presence, a silence where your heart finally feels understood.

This piece was born from one of those moments.
As I wrote these words, I realized that home isn't always a place. Sometimes it's a feeling that another soul awakens within you—a place where your defenses soften, your thoughts become still, and for just a little while, gravity forgets your name.

If these words remind you of someone, or perhaps a moment you've carried quietly in your own heart, then they've already found the person they were meant to reach.

Thank you, as always, for reading, sharing, and supporting my work. Every comment, every kind word, and every person who chooses to walk this creative journey beside me means more than I can express.

Sray Awake 🧿🪬

The White Oracle 🤍
