Why wait?
Why not now?
What is wrong?
What is holding you back?
No excuses
No mind games
Just positively
Now is the time

Who Am I
Who Am I
Am I a hater, some would have you think so.
Am I a dictator, I don’t see anyone wanting to follow or believe me.
Am I short, yes, but my temper has dropped.
Am I remorseful, we are not perfect.
Am I a savior, most believe there is only one of those.
Am I insane, only in the eyes of the beholder.
Am I stupid, I believe everyone has good intentions.
Am I a communicator, that is up for debate.
Am I a recycler, all good thoughts and blessings need repetition.
Am I fearful, this controls my actions more than anything else.
Am I depressed, I do have hope.
Am I living, here’s the written proof.
Am I realistic, just the facts.
Am I funny, many find me quite amusing.
Am I a dreamer, everyone has desires.
Am I a worker, when I know somebody positively benefits without greed.
Am I a woman, with all the working parts.
Am I pretty, 10’s are overrated.
Am I a loner, more times than I wish.
Am I a friend, I am already yours.
Am I a lover, of all things, yes, romantically, not at the moment.
Am I a partner, what did you have in mind?
Am I patient, I have waited a long time for many things.
Am I rich, I have a bountiful heart.
Am I good, that is my goal everyday.
Am I thankful, for all of you.
Am I proud, of who I am.

I Am Not For Me But For Us
To be against one another
Does no good
Always wanting something
The other doesn’t think
Is best
It’s ridiculous to have anger
Maintained without a solution
There must be something
We meet in the middle on
Instead of being taffy pulled
In all directions
Imagine we were
Knights of the round table
Everyone and everybody
Had equal say
Take that moment
See a new perspective
I look for one too
In order to
To find a solution
To this wall of
My way, no my way,
No my way, no my way
No my way, no my way
It has to stop
It is not about who is the bigger
Or better person
It is about
Not having to worry
About knowing
What we accomplish
Gives the room
A calming vibe

Post Cards
As you may know I have been raising funds for the Royal Council Foundation in order to support less privileged children across the globe. The Foundation provides these children shelter, medical services, nourishment, and education in their home country. Donations are always welcome but here is a way you can support these children without access to their daily needs by buying a postcard.
Who buys postcards these days? Well you of course. Humans still desire that need for a handwritten gesture from a friend, colleague or family member. It says a lot when you see their writing that says come visit, it is fabulous to be done with that project, grandma has finished her cancer treatment and other greetings I am sure you have wanted to say.
This is your chance to aide two birds with a pen, thank a friend and support those in need, all the proceeds going to the Royal Council Foundation. Whether you buy the 4 of them together or a single one you will be bringing happiness and smiles to several faces. Thank you so much in advance for your donation purchase.

Ability to completely relax
Assured in their goals attained

People and Places
people and places
they increase
with every year
meeting new faces
and some
so familiar
it is as though
they never parted
though with each
day full of events
this travel
for business
or time off
taking in
all that surrounds
only gives
wisdom amongst
activities experienced
allowing us
to age well
though feel
as young as
those just beginning

Disappeared
the world
has disappeared
into images
blocked and confused
for everything
completely understood
has disseminated
into the unknown
no longer
giving a feeling
of togetherness
of inner knowledge
so closely shared

Castles
its edges slope
into deep crevasses
filled with
water thick
of sludge and waste
rank smells
travel moss walls
ornate in design
with towers interspersed
rising even taller
giving a border
to contents within
a city shining
with several
profitable exchanges
completed by
serfs and vagrants
the first greeters
with their
own neighborhood
functioning within a
larger kingdom
with rulers
present and past
all different qualities
of government
living in the
enormous main
rooms for individuals
of varying status
with others inside
or outside
the outer perimeter
are Invited for
wonder, marvel
and general ambiance
of pure enjoyment
within one room
of those
larger walls
comprised of
stone, wood
soil and sand
holding formation
all around
while furniture
dapples the
empty interior
trimmed in gold
or covered
with fabric
the simplicity
of it all
depends on
fortunes of kingdoms
and all
their contributors
from communities
having built
every spot
from the middle
to the outskirts
of their very
own castle

Links
missing links
you think
of time passing
that lull
between frames
of meetings
when events
of the past
frequent in moments
become non existent
again beginning
something again
that never thought
you would do
for the cessation
of activity
to resume again
-Jennie Nawrocki

Busy
busy, i am always busy
i stand up from my bed
starting activities
what needs to be done
must complete
expectations growing
then the phone rings
can you?
busy, I am always busy
requests to be fulfilled
favors to be asked
errands to run
go here, get this
i am sorry, what do you need
it is over here
busy, I am always busy
where to find the time
projects to complete
dinners to schedule
that meeting ran over
how traffic affects the day
switching events
could you come
busy, I am always busy
what there’s a break
time to sit and relax
this is weird
there is something wrong
must check my computer
now I find more to complete
busy, I am always busy

Concepts
it is around you
events, people, thoughts,
many ways of living
that cannot be changed
they vie for freedom
justice with proof
of certainty
for their way is the way
though how the world
works is not one thought
it is the
combination of
different concepts
ways of living
bring the creativity
in order for
our species to survive
