How do you waste the most time every day?
I try not to waste what can’t be stored,
Each second’s a gift I can’t afford.
Life is too short to let it slide,
I meet each moment, arms open wide.

Spun Joy
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?
Cotton candy melts like giggles on air,
Takes me back to a world so rare.
Barefoot spins and laughter wide,
Childhood dancing on my tongue with pride
She Chose to Stay
Who is your favorite historical figure?
Mother Teresa walked where sorrow lay,
Holding hands most turned away.
She gave, not for praise or fame,
But to serve the soul behind each name.
Less Forever
Write about your first crush.
My first crush wore a crooked grin,
I saw enlightenment wrapped in skin.
But years have passed, and now I see,
It was less “forever” and more “puberty.”
What Time Leaves Behind
A ticking clock, a door ajar,
Each moment holds a silent star.
Ignore it once, it won’t appear,
A lost regret, a fading cheer.
So choose with care, act while it’s near,
The now you waste may cost you dear.
You scroll through time like it’s on repeat,
But chances don’t loop, they’re fleet on their feet.

The Gentle Nudge
When the nest begins to shake and sway,
Don’t pray to make the fear go away.
It isn’t doom that knocks your door
It’s life inviting you to soar.
Wings don’t grow in perfect peace,
They stretch when certainties cease.
You’re not being pushed to fall apart
You’re being nudged to find your start.
Equanimity
What’s your favorite thing about yourself?
In tempests loud or moments tight,
I hold my calm, not needing might.
Grace returns where anger could reign,
A quiet strength I can’t explain.
Lit by Passion
How do you want to retire?
Why retire from a flame that lights my way?
Each task renews me, day by day.
Work is not burning, it breathes me alive,
In passion’s rhythm, I thrive and thrive.
Timeless Rhythm
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?
The oldest thing I own, still true,
Is my breath, ancient, yet always new.
Each rise and fall, a silent song,
Carrying life as I move along.
My Circle of Light
Describe one of your favorite moments.
My favorite moments brightly shine,
When my kids gather, their hearts combine.
Their laughter sparkles, wild and true,
In their love, life feels brand new.
