Welcome to my page! This is my 4th (!!!!) marathon &#8212; 2 fulls and a half, this will be my third. As I sat and thought about what I was going to write about, I felt a little uneasy, a tad bit lost. I had muses for my first two marathons, and a pseudo-muse for my third. This year, though, I realized that, even though last year I denoted myself as my own muse, I had gotten lost in the noise. Doing so last year felt so unnatural and awkward. This, I&#8217;m determined to strengthen that resolution &#8212; I <em>will<\/em> be my own muse. I have to be.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s to a marathon filled with awe and wonder, self-discovery and self-reflection. A marathon by and for me; poetry for the sake of poetry. Here&#8217;s to a marathon of finding who I am and who I want to be. Here&#8217;s to a marathon of understanding that I <em>deserve<\/em> to be my own muse. Here&#8217;s to a marathon of me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As always, many blessings to you.<\/p>\n<p>Have a day filled with love, light, warmth, poetry, and &#8212; most importantly &#8212; YOU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, guys!
