Looking for a change?
It all begins with with you
Renewing your mind.
It takes a decision
In order for things to change.

My Journey With Books
I have been walking
The streets of San Francisco
“In Places Hidden”
Remembering the place
“Where Lilacs Still Bloom”,
While listening to “The Sound of Rain”,
With Judd and Larkin
And, as Hannah did, I am
Clinging to “A Passionate Hope”
Like Masuo Yasui in a “Stubborn Twig”
Or like those many pioneers did
On “The Oregon Trail”.
I, like “Judah’s Wife”, seek peace and safety
So I stop for a “Praise Pause”,
And praise God using one of His many names.
I am so grateful for His “Cherished Mercy”
And His “Redeeming Grace”.

Delicate
Kale, content til
Freedom’s breeze
Carried you.
You danced among the trees.
Sky cried the day you fell

Take a Chance
Follow
Creativity.
Sometimes it leads
You on an amazing journey
To find
Hidden talents within yourself!
You will enjoy finding
New things to do,
And create!

Lately I have been trying to learn how to draw. I have always wanted to but never really took the time to see if I could. So, last month I decided I would.
I bought a Sketch Book and some drawing pencils, found a daily drawing prompt site on Instagram and began my journey!
It has been a delightful, rewarding time each day. I am learning so much, finding hidden talent I didn’t know I had and meeting new friends.
I usually search for “How to Draw” sites or on You Tube that have drawing tutorials.
Today was especially exciting as the Prompt was to draw “Numbers”.
I decided to create something from the Numbers 25 as today is the 25th.
The drawing you see posted above is what resulted! It just amazed me to see where creativity led me today! From the numbers 25 to a Snoopy Top Dog drawing! 😊 I just had to share my excitement!
(PS: If you want to see my daily drawing journey Follow me on Instagram @LeonasDesigns )
Sorry!
On a journey to reach Home
I Start out as number 2
But I get a second chance
That’s not good for you
Sorry!
Counting on the luck of the Draw
To move me forward on the Path
My colorful little Pawn
Procures the Card of wrath
Sorry!
It’s a frantic race to make it Home
You bump me and I bump you
But one of us will win in the end
Oh Wow! Look at the card I drew!
Sorry!

Or Yoke?

Or Help in need?
Excessive baggage
Or good necessity?
What are you holding on to?
Is it dragging you down in life,
Or supplying you with the strength you need?
Assess what you are clinging to.

NaPoWriMo–Day 13–Metaphor poem
I enjoyed this challenge of writing my first Metaphor poem, for I liked the memory it brought.
The poem is actually about me. When I was a little girl. I used to sit in a big comfy chair (actually mine was red at that time, but later in life I did actually have a big pink wing-backed chair.)
I would sit for hours in the living room and read, and dream of faraway places, and imagine I was on a flying carpet! Books really can take you places! 🙂 Fun memory!
