What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?
“I’d avoid the land where mirrors deceive,
where faces smile but hearts don’t believe.”

Echo
Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.
They are the bloom from roots I tend,
Each step they take, a skyward bend.
I ask for nothing, yet I see,
Their rising light comes back to me.
A Table Set By Nature
What is your favorite restaurant?
Not walls and roofs, but grove and breeze,
My favourite place serves quiet and ease.
Beneath the stars or by a stream,
I dine with dusk and sip a dream.
A Decade From Now
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Ten years from now, I walk with grace,
Lines of time, but a glowing face.
Words I’ve sown in lands afar,
My voice now rides the winds like stars.
A poet, guide, and mother dear,
With wisdom soft and vision clear.
I speak, I write, I roam the skies,
In distant lands, my spirit flies.
From quiet hills to ocean’s shore,
Each journey opens up a door.
I teach, I learn, I laugh, I grow
With every step, my truths still flow.
I rise with sun, in peace I live,
With all I have, I still just give.
This life, a canvas, love the art,
A fit, fierce woman with a lionheart.
Moments of Bliss
What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?
At sunrise, I merge with breath and grace,
My yoga ritual,a sacred space.
Each movement flows like whispered art,
Aligning body, mind, and heart.
The oven glows with nurturing heat,
I bake whole goodness, simple, sweet.
With mindful hands, I stir delight,
Health wrapped in flavor, warm and light.
Poetry pours from thoughts that gleam,
Spilling from silence into dream.
A tender verse, a soulful phrase,
Turns fleeting moments into praise.
With special stars, I spend my days,
Children who shine in wondrous ways.
Their laughter raw, their spirits free
They gift me truth and empathy.
And when the moon begins to rise,
I walk with my son under open skies.
He speaks his heart with fearless ease,
His stories dance on the evening breeze.

Describe something you learned in high school.
Unshaken
“No storm is meant to pull you down
it merely asks, will you rise or frown?
What you hold with poise and grace,
never grows into a tangled place.”

Through Their Eyes
Describe one positive change you have made in your life.
One change I made that shaped my view,
I’ve learned to see what others walk through.
Through minds that work in unique ways,
And hearts that glow in quiet displays.
I’ve learned to pause, to truly be,
To feel their strength, so tenderly.
This shift has made my world more wide,
With deeper love and kinder stride.
From Om to Oops
What’s the most fun way to exercise?
Sometimes I groove with zero grace,
My dog just stares, “what is this race?”
He tilts his head, confused, dismayed,
“Wasn’t this yoga? She’s clearly strayed!”
No plan, no pose, just joyful trance
But hey, we call it cardio dance!
Relearning You
A uniformed heart
Dad may not say the perfect phrase,
He may be lost in grown-up days.
But every night he comes back home,
To understand how much you’ve grown.
He watches close, though not too near,
Afraid you’ll shrug or disappear.
He listens hard when you half-share,
And learns to pause, to just be there.
He may ask twice what you just said,
His eyes look tired, nodding head.
But still he tries, and still he stays,
To meet your world in newer ways.
He may not get your music right,
Or memes you laugh at late at night.
But still he asks, then asks once more,
Trying to reach your inner shore.
He might not know your favorite song,
Or if your answers take too long.
But still, he waits, behind the noise,
To hold your dreams, your fears, your voice.
He walks the line of strong and soft,
Still learning how to lift you aloft.
You may not see the grace it takes
To hold your storms when his heart breaks.
He sees the flicker in your eyes, the battles fought in muted sighs.
But still he shows up every day,
Learning your world, your teenage way.
He speaks of self, of lessons earned,
Of roads he’s walked and bridges burned.
But deep within, his truest part,
Hopes you’ll outshine his every start.
He lived a life in olive green,
Where orders ruled and fears were seen.
Far from home, in lands unknown,
He stood for more than just his own.
