People have pondered this age-old question often and whether you believe in soulmates, there is indeed “otherworldly” proof that they exist. The idea of soulmates dates back as early as Greek mythology. They believed humans were created with four arms, four legs, a head with two faces. Zeus, fearing their combined powers, split them into separate beings, leaving them to spend the rest of their days in search of each other. If you break it down simply into the definition of a soulmate it states that “a soulmate is a person ideally suited to another, such as a close friend…

Our mission as artists is to make you feel something. We try to inspire you because life is difficult enough and any art form is an escape from the mundane. Being creative can also mean being misunderstood. If you are a creative type you will probably relate to this statement in a heartbeat. I truly believe that creative people do feel more misunderstood than “normal” people. And when I say normal people I mean non-creative types. Because being creative puts you in a whole other class of “not normal”, trust me. There can be a few reasons why others may…

Tradition can mean many things in our lives simply because we are all born into our own families and this is where tradition begins. Tradition can be any type of ritual or custom usually passed down from generation to generation. We grow up learning about our family traditions and participating in them as children and hopefully pass them on to our own families one day. These traditions are usually something we all look forward to, they make us feel closer to one another and bring about a feeling of togetherness. Traditions can be important for a few reasons and sometimes…

Do you often have feelings of failure or that you don’t measure up to the rest of the human race? You are not alone in feeling this way as many of us have felt this way at least once in our lives in one form or another. This can stem from possibly meeting someone in your life that has unconsciously made you feel that you were not accepted and you began to believe them and started judging yourself. This does more harm than good because no one can make you feel inadequate or inferior, unless you allow them to. Some…

Most of us, when we say the word change, it can be a frightening word. At least, for me it is anyway. I never cared for the word myself, it always sounded so…unnecessary! Okay, let me explain. Change is mysterious, it is venturing into unknown territory and you have no idea if things are going to work out or not. It is a risk to change something major in your life, such as a career change and let’s face it, the unknown can be scary to many of us when we are settled into our lives, good or not so…

The answer to this is quite simple yet very complex. When asked to write on this topic of fear I started thinking of all the things I was afraid of… as my list grew and grew… on and on it went. And I thought, how will I ever write about this, all my fears, there are too many. Why are we so afraid of life? We all have a fear of life, in general, all of us. We worry about so many things, our loved ones, our health, our work, our bills, our family, our friendships, our relationships, and the…

Some lessons in life cannot be taught to you, they have to be discovered on their own and in their own time. It doesn’t happen overnight either, but rather over time you will encounter certain situations that maybe you were not certain how to handle them, or you handled them in the wrong manner, but as a child you didn’t know any better at the time. Afterward, when everything is said and done and you had time to think about it, you realized what you could have done differently or handled better. And that is okay because this is what…

As a poet of romantic poetry who would be more qualified than myself to write on this topic? However let me first clarify that I am not a relationship expert, I simply listen to people and write about the many different feelings of love. In fact, I may even change the term to “hopeful romantic” because this is exactly what the term implies. Hopelessness of love equates to remaining hopeful regarding love. And it is a topic I live and breathe every day. Here are some signs you may be a “Hopeful Romantic”: * Are you a daydreamer? You cannot…

First, let me clarify something to all of you, I am not a therapist. I am simply a writer of poetry that somehow touches people with my words and poems, possibly healing their souls in some small way by making them feel less alone. I hear them in different ways as they express their pain and loneliness in their own lives. And after listening to some of their problems I want to try and help in any way so they are able to experience some kind of joy in their lives again. If you feel as though you are going…

Summer is all about fun carefree days with a splash of romance. Summertime is back in all its sweet glory with hot summer nights and even hotter date ideas. The longest days of the year are here so it’s time to think about fun outdoor activities. Along comes warmer weather, flowery sundresses, and sunny park benches. This means fun in the sun whether it’s a picnic in the park or an outdoor movie, there is fun to be had. The best part about summer is the longer daylight hours and more time spent outdoors. You don’t have to spend money…
