I am an engineer by trade, but a poet and songstress at heart. I started writing occasional articles online about a year ago, but poetry is still my first love.

It took me almost seven months to be able to write this article. A time of discovery and revelation about myself. Don't judge a book by its cover - truer words were never spoken....
Marriage is HARD WORK! But there are those who have struggled and come through just fine, because they finally figured out how to work together as one.
Have you ever been trapped in a situation from which there seemed to be no escape? It's hellish, believe me. I long to have my life back so badly, I just want to scream!
I had to make sure I was prepared for the backlash that could stem from writing this article. The premise is: What the right-wing labels as socialism and redistribution of wealth are actually two basic principles of the Church illustrated in the Bible. A fellow Christian told me this ...
How can one heal the wounds of a failed relationship while still knee-deep in it?
When we are truly meant to have something, we don't have to work hard to keep it....
Recognizing the signs that may be telling you it's time to end the relationship...
Sometimes you're involved in a relationship so awful, you are willing to shoulder all the blame for its failure just to end it.
Some people have it twisted. They assume that just because people are always in their presence they should be considered friends who can be counted on to be there when times are tough. This is not always the case.
Don’t confuse the people who are always around with the ones who a...
Some people are in complete denial that they have problems and/or issues that need to be resolved and that some change needs to be effected in their lives and relationships to make things better.
We all have problems; that's part of life. However, the attitude we have going through tough times really can determine in what condition we arrive on the other side.
Wondering why people do the wrong things and then try to lie about them. Why go through all the trouble of making up stories to cover up what you've done? Isn't it easier to just do the right thing to begin with?
Sometimes, people corner us and think they have us defeated because we are generally meek and mild-mannered. More often than not, we will use that opportunity to unleash everything on them that we had been trying (in our attempts to be polite) to hold back.
When you are young and in love with the idea of love, you can be blind to real motives at work in the relationship. But with age (hopefully) comes wisdom...
Seems you can learn a lot from a turkey and a goose. Read on to see what I'm talking about.
We often put up a brave front when when step out into the world. No one would know our problems, struggles and insecurities by looking at us.
I believe that we often get too complacent in our old routines and miss out on exciting new possibilities.
I know it was Super Tuesday and all eyes were on Ohio (again). But you can't blame me for trying to get my 15 minutes of fame out of this.
It seems as if as soon as I get one area of my life in order another area falls apart. Will it ever all come together so I can be complete?
Not much to be said.... Nothing was ever as I thought it should be.
Series of poems aimed at guys (or girls) who simply can't take a hint. "No" sometimes (okay, most of the time) really means "NO". When it's over, it's over.
Wondering what will become of an already troubled marriage once all the children are gone...
When relationships affect our lives in a negative way, why don't we get out of them? It only makes sense, right?
I wrote this back on December 30, 2011 and forgot to post it here. Then yesterday, I realized I had posted the same poem twice under different page titles.... I must be either getting old or getting tired.
As a parent, I have heard this many times over the years from my children. I’m sure I am not alone in this, as all children are a bit impatient when they travel. This is especially true when the trip is a special treat for them (e.g. an amusement park).
I am a little short on pa...
