Today is my favourite day of the year: August 8. It is not my birthday, but something about this date always feels great.

New Release: Poetry Collection
It has taken me ages to complete this project. What started as a lofty idea to create a book of love poems has evolved over time to become a book of poems focusing on a less often discussed emotion known as vengeance.
When I was younger, I wrote much of my poetry as an attempt to understand the complex feelings I experienced in the corporate world, as well as in my personal life. Although I have moved on from many of these feelings, and brought myself upward to higher vibrations of love and understanding; this collection is proof that I was not always the kindest, or most patient person.
In my 20s I wrote these poems without knowing exactly how or where they could fit, but I believe I have developed a knack for writing searing and devastating prose toward old relationships. In many of these situations, I never had the power to say how I felt, and so writing it down became the best way for me to heal.
Today I continue the healing by releasing this book of poems, with hopefully many more collections to come.
Thank you, and happy new year!

Delete, unfollow, unfriend, block, erase, disconnect from anyone and anything that Robs you of your peace, love and happiness. Not just on social media but in real life too. You don’t need to be around people who don’t see and appreciate “your value “. Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and the thinkers but most of all Surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you even if you don’t see it yourself…

“The deeper the blue becomes, the more strongly it calls man towards the infinite, awakening in him a desire for the pure and, finally, for the supernatural… The brighter it becomes, the more it loses its sound, until it turns into silent stillness and becomes white.”
– Wassily Kandinsky

“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.”
