Grounded and Infinite

What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

My favorite exercise is not a routine, but a return,
A breath with the trees, a stretch with the sun.
On the mat I find stillness, under the sky I find flight,
Yoga in nature is where my body and soul unite.

Untitled by Design

What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?

Labels felt shallow, but purpose ran deep,
So I followed the whispers that others let sleep.
I chose craft over career, soul over gear,
And life became my work, year after year.

Shaped by Trials

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I’ve walked through things I once feared to see,
Loneliness, responsibility, both shaping me.
I wasn’t born strong, life taught me to be,
And being married to a soldier set that spirit free.

The One Next Door

What makes a good neighbor?

The one whose presence need not be loud,
You may share a meal, or just  the same cloud.
Days may pass without a word or call,
Yet their smile feels like sunlight on your wall.
Their home, in quiet ways, imparts
A flavor that lingers in your heart.
