Ok Pinterest, You Make Holiday Decorations Look So Easy But You Make Me Feel Like An Epic Fail!

Hilarious! Soooo 2020!!

I want to be one of those super creative people that makes their own holiday decorations. I am NOT one of those people. Unfortunately, Pinterest makes me feel incompetent. Isn’t it bad enough I fall down that creative rabbit hole for hours and feel super inspired, only to try and fail over and over again?

I’m the mom that bought tons of “Creative Memories” stuff back in the 90’s. I bet I spent a community college tuition on that stuff. Made one page. Not even a whole scrapbook. It looked like a third grader did the work. A few years ago I finally sold all the stuff I had bought from those at home parties. Scrap book pages, scissors, stickers, picture cutters, etc. in a yard sale. A Young mom even asked what all that was. When I told her she said, “Oh I do digital Scrapbooks”. Duh. We didn’t…

Breathe and read

Susi Bocks's avatarI Write Her

I will sing you…

with low notes strongly pure
light through dust of your worries

courage for times of cold silence
when you need the music to return

I will sing you in truth until
you remember the voice born with you.

Yet to be Seen

where blue crosses yellow
melting green, life will meet us
in colors combined

Surfaces

How is it that water
is such a crafted artist?

Consistently she reflects
the whole of light and darkness

grays blurred or glint of rose
upon watery wavering waves.

Then offers still life in contrasts
days of no wind, glasslike

surfaces smoothly reflective
that stop me in time.

Thunderstorm Conversations

Lean into the loud
hold curiosity’s hand
consider this thundering
consider it may not mean what you thought.

This crack clashing boom
only an illusion of danger.

Maybe it isn’t a disastrous end
but a calling of resounding strength
