I follow these mood meditations and they help me to keep going. The sun has been a huge help as well. The moon and the sun are looking over me from above, I respect them. Happy Friday!

Despite my fears, and tears
I drove to the theater 🎭
I am blessed to be with my daughter
She knows my broken fear meter

Despite the pain and worry
I am blessed and living the dream
I embraced my life and used courage
We went and saw Scream!

Healing and dealing, friends
Trying to not let anxiety keep me isolated

Dear Dad
You came to see me this morning
From the spirit world
I felt you here with me
Sensing my fear, comforting your little girl

The vail is thinning
As the full moon approaches
My stress has been heavy
My skin burns from the torches

Burns of life that are not welcome
Not healing like a sweat
But as you sat with me
I felt no regret

I have been doing my language, drumming and ceremonies
I have been living life on a good path
I have been trying to carry your wisdom
And I have been taming the wrath

I can still see your smile
Feel your sweater on my skin
When I hugged you I felt safe
You always saw what was within

I meditated on that hug
And let my tears flow as I confessed
I really want to live, I love my life!
I am afraid of death

As my body released
I felt a calm come to me
I felt gratitude, hope and not alone
Thank you for coming to see me

Dealing with Insurance, looking for a new car
Healing slowly, but feel the scar
Accepting I may need more help, triggered again
PTSD, my old friend
Knocking, knocking on my door
Didn't think it would be this soon, and more
Creator's plan still raises with smudge
And I will try to let him be the judge.

Happy Friday friends, a little piece of my poetic thoughts for you today! I appreciate all the love and support ❤️

Thoughts on my Couch

Folding, holding in
Pain and fear
But still I grin

Even though pain
Even though dread to drive
I can't complain

Purpose was not cut short
Didn't leave my kids behind
Still here to help, to support

Prayers, smudging away grief
Walking through my fears
Living on faith, belief

Please, Creator, tell my nervous system
Tell it to heal from this
Don't let this crash take my wisdom

This roller coaster of feelings and anxiety
Has me exhausted, in tears
And hating this society

Even though triggers
Even though I can barely fold clothes
I can be the winner

I will not stop grinning
I will walk through the pain and fear
Let go, not hold it in, that's healing

From concept… to healed.

This piece was tattooed on August 2025.
Healed photo February 2026.

Six months later

No redness.
No filters.
Just structure.

This is why I talk about building things properly.
Clean lines.
Intentional shading.

Fresh tattoos impress people.
Healed tattoos build reputation.

Would you wear something like this on your upper back or go larger?
