3/11/2024 #ArtandDesignsWeLoveSpeaking of poetry, I remember finding this years ago. I believe it is a Banksy creation. As far as modern day romance is concerned isn't it so true?
Until of course you get old enough and or learn the lesson enough times to knock it off. Although my days of going through a dudes messages (aka being lied to and allowing it or having trust issues you refuse to fix) are over I'm not too proud to admit I have gone there many, many times in the past until I finally learned my own personal lesson. What is that lesson you ask? If you feel like you have to look? You will not like what you find. I have no shame in the game of admitting that I do kind of miss my younger, dumber, more "toxic" self because there was a lot of excitement in the absolute madness and drama of it all but time marches on and so did I. 3/10/2024 #WritingBreakI wrote this in May 2023. I think it's a terrible poem except I love the first line of it.
I mean what exactly is a love poem without, "I'm crawling through the grave of my life to get to you." So dark! The absolute romance of it all. 3/8/2024 #MusicWeLove"I had a heart then, but that Queen has been overthrown."Another example of a near perfect lyric. A prose that clawed her way from the bottom all the way up the vine to reach the sun.

Answer: On the lookout for one! 2/10/2024 #WritingBreak"The Way" By Serenity Anne LumbardI've been sharing a poem I wrote while I've been out and about the last couple of months and so I decided to share it with you! I'm working on a video that will visualize what I have in mind for it, but for now...check out the spoken version. If you noticed my use of "The Fool" card from the Tarot in the video; below is a really great description to understand the card and it's meaning: "Here is the immortal mortal, invincibility. The magician has learned all his lessons. Complete lack of fear, through innate knowledge of death. Understanding of death, both as illusion and hard reality, that at birth we begin to die and at death we begin to live. Here is complete balance, centered awareness. Transcendent of space/time. To earthly knowledge has been added much of the knowledge beyond the veil and the ability to see beyond earthly duality while living in it. The ultimate optimist, appears very lucky to onlookers and is indeed charmed. There is much good humor in all things. Unmitigated joy, walking on air as here is the ability to see the positive lesson inherent in any duality with man’s will. The fool in knowing that he knows, also knows what he does not know. His reaction is “Oh, but of course!” When opposites reveal themselves to be but two sides of the one – the same, whenever we discover the surprise in what was before so hard to see – there is a relief, a lightening of the spirit that comes with the enlightening of the mind." -Crystal Clear Reflections The Fool is represented by the number 0. Like a egg that is unhatched containing so much life that's ready to burst onto the scene; whatever scene that may be, of their "next" life. The essence of The Fool is new beginnings, to have the courage to begin again with no evidence of anything working out yet knowing just as much there is just as much probability that it will. It's to learn from the past, bring the wisdom with you, and walk into the unknown with a happy and hopeful heart that's willing to step by step, begin again. The Fool is a little like a new baby but one with the mind of someone that has taken their prior experiences, done the work of self inquiry and examination of self/others/environments, and then turned it into wisdom.
It's a tight rope. Everything is new. Yet you carry with you much wisdom. While you feel you are leaving so much behind. But you know you have to keep going. It's bravery in action all wrapped up in a usually silly looking person that people are gawking at. Or laughing at. Or making up rumours about or gossiping about. Or playing judge, jury, and executioner about like they have the credentials be a judge of anyone in the first place. Unless of course they do have the credentials to be a judge and in that case scratch what I just said, stand up straight and pay attention. After that? Be The Fool. Every single one of us has access to this essence as many times as we want, need, or in some cases feel as if we are forced to. The courage it takes to begin again is born from a genuine love of self, without that you wouldn't keep going. It's from a hope that springs eternal in you that refuses to die. It always seems to roar back to life bigger and brighter than before time and time again. The courage is from a faith in a future you can't see. It's like you are walking into a dark forest alone but you know there is nothing for you to fear although you yourself consider you might be mad for even thinking that. You know by now there is nothing to life but love anyway; no matter however anyone tries to play it or convince you of otherwise. Of course there is darkness, we need it. I love it too. It's not meant to stay in, just to take trips to. Take a trip to the underworld where scorpionic transformation occurs more readily than by standing in the sun. It's the darkness feeds our light. Just don't hang out too long, make sure you got a round trip ticket. It all comes down to this. You have a red, hot, burning ember of a lust for your life that no one has been able to to take from you, not even yourself. A flower that refuses to die. This is what it takes to begin again. The Fool knows how beautiful life CAN BE, because The Fool already sees how beautiful life IS. 2/7/2024 #MusicWeLoveDon't forget your work/life balance ya'll. We are supposed to be enjoying ourselves in this life after all.
2/7/2024 #ArtAndDesignsWeLove"Learn to rest not to quit." - Said someone very wise somewhere, sometime, in some very Zen garden like place with a waterfall I would imagine (maybe that just sounds nice). It's otherwise known as Never Give Up kids.
12/23/2023 #UptownSecretaryNewsMade With LoveThis reminds me of a hot air balloon....wouldn't that be fun? It's almost 2024, yay! 2023 has been a year of lessons! Look how much smarter we all are now. I think 2024, will be a smashing success for me and will be very much well deserved. I truly hope that we all have a brilliant year this year - it's time for the happy right? Yes indeed. Keep smiling! #TheUptownSecretary #SocialSecretary #WalkByFaithNotBySight
12/23/2023 #BeSocialIt is psychologically proven that the vast majority of people won't step forward to protect someone being targeted due to our herd mentality. It's just how we are wired. However, it only takes one person to step forward to make others comfortable to speak up too. Some of us are ok with being "first responders" and sticking up for anyone suffering at the hands of a bully. Be that cool kid! Then you can help be a teacher and show others it's not okay. Let's look out for each other more in 2024. #TheUptownSecretary #SocialSecretary #LoveFeelsBetter #StopBullies #It'sOKToBeDifferent #WhyBeNormal #WeirdIsCoolMan
11/17/2023 #ArtAndDesignsWeLoveI made this with an eye for wouldn't it be so cute in a little girls room as a poster? I just love The Maiden. She is the happy little troublemaking gem of an inner child in all of us ladies. That look on her face......just perfect. What a sweetheart. The Maiden illustration I used is some seriously beautiful artwork from the tarot deck; The Faeries Oracle. #TheUptownSecretary #SocialSecretary #Designs #DontWorryBeHappy
11/15/2023 #MusicWeLoveI found this a few years ago and I have loved it ever since. The visual aspect is addicting in it's beauty (read simplicity) and the sound fills the house with nothing but a sweet, balm that soothes my soul.
If you are ever feeling anxious or upset throw this baby on. After 3 hours of it, I promise you one thing. You won't be feeling anxious anymore 11/7/2023 #CreatorsWeLoveIsn't there is always a "woman in the red dress". And doesn't it just suck when the "woman in the red dress" turns out to waste vast portions of your life..... as well as be a complete mirage in whatever way, shape, or form they were meant to be?
Seeing things clearly is always the challenge.... 11/7/2023 #BeSocialChoose your thoughts, choose your adventure#TheUptownSecretary #SocialSecretary #SocialMediaManagement #TheSocials #Design #GrowthMindset #EverydayYouGottaTryToChooseIt
11/6/2023 #WordsWeLoveEver since we first heard this poem, it's been one of our favorites...Omar was a very interesting man; a mathematician as well as a poet, a philosopher.....and such a beautiful mind. His collection of poetry is quite remarkable; wise and profound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Khayyam I've always said, if I ever get a tattoo; it will say "be happy for this moment, for this moment is your life." And if I don't, I will always try (it's not always easy...but the more you try the easier it becomes) to live by this motto. Be happy for this moment. For this moment is your life. #TheUptownSecretary #SocialSecretary #SocialMediaMarketing #TheSocials #QuotesWeLove #WritersRock #OmarKhayyam
