When it all works out

I love it when it all works out! I find it especially exciting after a time of deep fatigue, anxiety, stress, or tension (or all of them)!

Say yes to vulnerability

Introduction When I wrote this short but powerful poem, I knew the concepts, but was learning to really know them, deep in my bones.
