Gilded Harvest

If I were a pumpkin, I would be one of these

Gilded and with a subtle sparkle

Shimmering and changing color

in the moonlight

My color would be irridescent orange

not the hot neon that you normally see

The color of nectar

or a glowing sunrise

with swirling tones of pink, blue and purple

Yes, If I were a pumpkin

I would be one of these

These pictures were taken at Disney World on our trip this past summer.  When I saw them, my heart spoke of home reminding me of the days that I used to be less Cinder and more Ella.

Contracts

So I told my story

and I raised their hearts

without knowing

of the spirit moving through me

I spoke candidly

without fear

or contention

letting my experinces

guide me

to let them know

my Truth

I have long thought

that I would be able

to Inspire those around me

with words from heaven

passed through me

by the power of the spirit

it is my callling

one that I now see

that I must start to

fulfill

this is my contract

that has been sealed

in the heavens

where my soul danced

with God

Cinders

Today, the wind is howling

blowing the dust and cinders

in cirlces at my feet

The umber and crimson

colored leaves

have now taken on

an ashen cast

as they murmur their

hushed good bye

a swan song to their

youthful days

in the sun

The wind, it beckons

of the chill that lies ahead

the blustery days

of nature's deep resting

the time for quietude...

the solstice of its soul...

release

Today, I sweep the cinders

off my feet

and wipe my brow clean

with the wind

of change

Inpire Me Mondays...Epiphany

Here is my own personal quote to inspire you right here, in the moment...

"Sometimes you wonder why you are in a certain place in your life, stymied by the fact that there is no forward movement even when you feel that you have learned all of your lessons, only to realize that you were just there to help someone else along with their forward movement.  When your teaching is done, you will be set free".

Inspire Me Monday, Maybe Tuesday, A week late!

~*{Romance Noir at Poetica}*~

Although I have been pretty diligent in keeping up with my pal Gracie's Inspire Me Mondays, I have been a bit lax the past week or so.  I guess that the mouse will play while the cat is away....

Either way, I just wanted to write about a little burst of inspiration that came my way today while I am nursing myself back to health from this nasty cold/flu/bronchitis thingie that I have been dealing with for the past three weeks.  After my lovely friend Lynda revamped this blog and all of my banners, buttons, et. al. I wanted her to work on my website.  I have not been happy with it at all since it's inception and I knew that it would have to be a prettier, more functional site for me to grow my business in the future.  Well, this would have entailed switching servers, transferring domains....a lot of technology that I didn't feel was "right" just at this moment (especially since I have paid for this one in advance and would have to shell out some more denieros to get this one going).  I still will have my friend redo my site when the time is right...she's a great gal and did a very nice job for me.  But, today in the midst of switching services, I stopped dead cold.  Something (or someone , for that matter) said that I should try this out one more time before I commit to more monetary expenditure.  So with fingers crossed, and a prayer in hand, I started my journey into redoing my website.  Four hours and many edits later, I came out with something that I like.  It's not designed by a high tech person that can do all the bells and whistles.  I'll save that for Lynda when she sets up my e-commerce site.  But, overall I am happy with the outcome.  I think that it looks elegant enough and still showcases my jewelry in a nice way.

So, as a favor, could you all take a peek at my revamped site and tell me what you think ...honestly.  Your feed back really means a lot to help my business grow, so please don't hold back.  Just one thing, please know that it is a work in progress and I have almost all of the links set...just a few more to go.  Thank you :)
