October's Moon

October's moon shines down on me

So big and bright

In the still of the night

Its light draws me to untold mysteries

The fairies gather round

A merry little jig they dance

The trees sing softly

As the wind gently blows

I hear a wolf howl in the distance

Magic surrounds the moon's glow

Writer's Island: The Journey

Sometimes the journey was hard and I couldn't imagine making it through.

Now the journey is calm with sunshine and skies of blue.

I have let go of the past with its heartaches and pain.

When storm clouds threaten to rain on my parade,

I remember the strength and wisdom I've gained.

I look walk forward into the future with a smile on my face,

Knowing the sun will shine again as the journey continues.

Writer's Island: The Key

Sierra pondered the state of her life at present, feeling that something was missing. Her thoughts drifted from the past to the present as she remembered all that she had been through in her still young life. She had endured struggles and came out triumphantly in the end. And as she looking out over the horizon, she realized that happiness was hers for the taking. All she had to do was follow her bliss and choose joy every day. She had the power to do whatever it was she desired. She held the key to her own happiness.

Sunday Scribblings: Hair

(I'm the blonde on the right. Taken a couple of years ago:)

I was a blondie at birth, but as I grew older my hair began to darken. In middle school I started bleaching my hair platinum blonde. I've also dyed my hair auburn and chestnut at various times. Now I am back to my natural color - brunette. But while I miss my golden locks, I don't miss the upkeep.

(This is me now. Brunette and trying to grow my hair out.)

I have also had my hair from quite long to wearing a boy cut. I love the ease of shorter hair styles - just wash and go. Currently, I'm in the process of trying to grow my hair out again. It's extremely thick and heavy. I want to cut it all off and bleach it blonde again. No platinum this time around though. Perhaps I will....

Do I grow it long or keep it short? Do I keep my natural color or go blonde? This is the love/hate relationship I have with my hair.
