Tonight

Via Pinteresrt


It's dark now. My apartment is quiet. I'm watching a movie on Netflix. I like it. It's good. Onyx is nearby. I'm wrapped in a blanket.

My mind is quiet. I'm a little lonely. I haven't seen one of my friends much lately. I miss her.

Work has been hard. The hours are long. Management demands a lot.

Part of me wants to cry. Part of me wants to sleep. I'm not sure what exactly I'm writing. I should probably delete all of this. It's nonsense.

But it's also the truth.

It's me right now. It's me as I am in this moment.

So I won't delete it. I'll post it. Because these moments are important. They're me as I really am. They're me without the noise and masks. I just am. I'm not afraid to be me anymore. I want to know who I am. I can't learn that if I constantly erase the words that are me.

I'm Moriah. Tonight, I am quiet.

Please remember that hope changes everything. Please remember that dreaming renews your hopes.

From "The Dragon Books" Annnddddd........ We're back for a Teaser Tuesday!!! For anyone who doesn't already know, The Dragons' Stones  is the novel I completed last year. It's synopsis is  "Princess Ciara must retrieve the fabled Dragons' Stones or face life imprisonment. Aleksander hopes that by helping her with this quest, he will make peace with regrets from his past." From "The Dragon Books" No, I'm not going to tell y'all why this prompt fits into The Dragons' Stones . Just know that applies.  Now, it's time for the teaser. Today, it's from Ciara's perspective. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I paused below a window as worry rolled down my shoulders to the ground. I knew. I remembered. I sighed with relief and kept moving until I was out of the village. Beyond it grew a forest. I marched between the trees. The wind hissed among their leaves, and then I...

Building Gratitude

Via Pinterest Anybody else a little tired of their house? On top of everything else, I don't even have access to my books. I have exactly two books to read, and then I go crazy. Via Pinterest But in all seriousness, I'm using this time to develop some good habits in my daily life. (Or I'm trying to anyway.) As some of you know, my word for 2020 is "RENEWAL". I came out of both 2018 and 2019 with a lot of things I didn't like in my life. So for 2020, I really wanted to -  maybe not fix -  but definitely improve. That means better habits, better attitude, and better lifestyle. Part of that is in my writing; part of that is other areas. One of the ways I'm working to reshape is through building gratitude in as many ways as I can. Here's how I work gratitude into my everyday life. 3 Things I'm Grateful for Before I Get out of Bed.  Once I'm good and awake, I list three simple things that I appreciate. It might be a bir...
