Moon Vibes

I like when the moon is visible when I am out hiking, running, jogging or just walking. The moon is not following me but it is there, as if saying hello, letting me know, it is there. You are so pretty. The moon is there. It is always there. We just do not always seeContinue reading “Moon Vibes”

Re-set, Let Go, Move On

Things happen. If you feel like you have been caught in an unwanted web, ask yourself: “What is this circumstance doing for me?” not “What is it doing to me?” What can I learn from the situation?

Eulalia Lus Zoo

You were supposed to stay. You were supposed to survive with me, to heal and to love and to laugh with me in my eyes. I wanted to breastfeed you like I did your brother. I wanted to watch you grow and tell you stories. I wanted to play and sing with you. I wantedContinue reading “Eulalia Lus Zoo”

Crush

Our house was white with black trim. We had some flowers out in our front yard by the side of our garage. My sister and I planted those flowers with our mom to see if they would grow and bloom. That day, in the early evening of a warm afternoon in California, that was whenContinue reading “Crush”

A Dreamweaver & Soul Warrior

I am human. I am also Hmong by ethnicity. I grew up in the United States and currently reside in the United States. I write nonfiction when I can, not as often as I should, but I hope to change that. Be your own hero. #beyourownhero #thetimeisnow above photo, age 25 taken in Lake Tahoe,Continue reading “A Dreamweaver & Soul Warrior”
