No one is alone in their darkness; we all struggle to overcome the suffering of mental constraints and stress. Transcendence can happen when we stop running away and being distracted, when we embrace the dark moments, and make time to connect with our inner wisdom and light, our sacred divine self.
My poetry and writing are introspective as I explore the deep crevices of the heart and mind, to find a sweet connection to my inner knowing and wisdom that lights the way back to my soul’s wholeness. I “bare my soul” as an example of walking in darkness, connecting to the sacred divine self, with the hope of providing inspiration for your own soul’s healing and expansion and the empowerment to feel whole again.
A poem about the journey within, into the darkest, most hidden part of you. Within that sacred space, safety and support is found, until the knowing and the desire to be seen again urges you to resurface and integrate your inner wisdom into the external reality. The poem describes one of my meditations where I […]

Alchemy of the Soul is my second published collection of poetry. Like my first collection, Into the Darkness, Become the Light, it is the works of deep soul introspection, but this collection is a deeper exploration. The poems describe my internal journey of about a 7-year cycle, where I see and acknowledge my darker mental and emotional states, find peace and altitude within the distress, and then realign with my sacred divine self. The collection describes the ebb and flow of my soul’s current. It is a love story of the divine feminine and masculine within (heart and mind) – a soul alchemy.
Although, the poems are my personal journey, as with my first poetry collection, something continues to tell me share it. Our soul experience is incredibly unique and intimate to each of us, I believe there are universal elements of the journey that we all share and can relate to.
Poetry for me starts with automatic writing that I later refine into poetic form. The automatic writing is a therapeutic tool for connecting with my heart, mind, and soul and my sacred divine self, the mystic within.
In my collection of over 100 poems, Into the Darkness, Become the Light, I share my intimate and sacred healing journey after my beloved husband was killed in action in 2004, during the Iraq War. This 19-year journey highlights love (prior to the darkness), loss (into the darkness), and renewal (become the light). The poems are a direct witness of self-exploration, healing, cleansing, growth, and expansion.
I loved writing poetry since my early adolescent years. Poetry always has been a healing and therapeutic source for overcoming life’s changes and challenges. It offers me a direct connection to my inner knowing and to the mystic within.
