This is the clutter I thought was my treasure,
precious things I’d never part with,
precious things that define me.
My life, my commitments, my time
boxed up, hauled away on a trailer.
donated.
Leaving me with a clean slate,
fresh opportunity to redefine,
fresh opportunity to rediscover
my life, my commitments, my time
in ways that cannot be boxed up or
donated.
This is the clutter I treasured,
cheap plastic trinkets.
cheap costume jewelry,
donated sorted and sold
to become someone else’s
treasure.

Learn to be Fearless
Taking the next step
even when fear
is choking out your next breath.
Learn to challenge yourself.
Dare to look like a fool.
Go beyond what you know.
Do something that scares you.
and
Learn to be fearless.
Life is built around maybes:
Maybe I will fail,
but maybe I will succeed.
Maybe I should get a hair cut.
A statement. Flat. Unsteady.
Certainly uncertain.
Maybe I should fall in love.
Maybe I might get hurt.
Maybe we should get married.
Maybe we should have a baby.
Motherhood haunted by maybe.
Maybe I didn’t do enough.
Maybe I did too much.
Maybe I gave my best.
But between the maybes
it may be the “yes”
and it may be the “no”
that turn what may be life un-lived
Into what may be the beginning of greatness.
