The Challenge Before You

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #322

with possibilities on the horizon
does it push you to move forward

with hope all things are possible
they say

with determination as the lead
you can go far

with motivation you can move mountains
to achieve what you want

but you must rise
you must shine brilliant with positivity

or you face delusion
leaving nothing behind but your disappearance

“I think if you are curious, you create opportunities, and then if you open the doors, you create possibilities.” – Mario Testino

Beauty In An Ugly Place

Redux

Awaken in you the love for yourself.

Rise up even more in the feelings of empathy and compassion.

Channel that goodness outwards.

Free others to feel the same in their skin.

Lift them up to greater heights.

Incite others to follow a path of love.

Your beauty will continue to become more elaborate but distinct.

Change the world until it becomes more inhabitable.

fields of bright questions

I pick whys

and hows, bloom

gold awes for consideration

My Other Babies

Published on June 26, 2019June 26, 2019 by Susi Bocks21 Comments

Writing pieces for publication is like having children.

Each one I give birth to (write) will be nurtured (reviewed & edited) until it is grown-up (complete). Then I reluctantly let it go out into the world (publish it). My hope is that it is written well enough to have an impact on the world in a positive way.

My descendants (inspired audience) will continue the good that was started with just an idea or brief thought to hopefully make this world a better place.

May my legacy (my other babies) be remembered well.
