Thank you. That’s really cool because my grandma used to always say it was God showering blessings in the spiritual realm. Water in whatever state is always so inspirational to me.
AWww I love that. I bet you somewhere up there your grandma and my grandpa were friends. My grandpa had quite the personality! Every time it rains, I think of him <3
I love the rain
To other people it might be a pain
But for me it’s joy
Like a kid with a new toy
I guess life prepared me to be
This way
Cause I had to learn to
Find peace in my rain
And find my calm in the middle of my storm
And See the beauty in it
Cause I’ve learned that
storms not only come to ravage
But also to restore and to rep…read more
DeAndrea, This is so good and so true. Interestingly enough, my grandfather always told me rain was good luck. And as it turns out my boyfriend’s name means God of rain. This poem is thoughtfully and beautifully written. Thank you for sharing. <3 Lauren

Aww Dee, this is really powerful.

You are strong. And I am so glad you see that and you see how amazing you and your heart are. Also, my hebrew name is…read more

Hi Dee,
I remember that pain of feeling ugly. As one of the few kids in school with curly hair I hated it so much the teasing and wanting to be someone with straight hair it wasn’t fun. I never felt bad enough to cut myself, but sometimes I felt like I was on the edge of going there. It’s the worst feeling ever and I learned to ignore the…read more

How am I changing the world?
The real question is what makes you think
Me of all people… One being.
Has the power to do so?
I ain’t no Jesus.
I can’t be a savior.
I can’t change the world.
But I can elevate my mind
and change my behavior.
The world is cruel.
We all just wear our
rose colored glasses.
And say we go to the
“beat of our own…read more
