Finding My Path

By Byron C.

Finding my pathAs a child, life was colorful and good. I was adventurous and loved to outdo my older brother. I pretty much enjoyed life outside of home. I say this because home was not always a happy place to be; I was consistently emotionally, and often physically abused by my father.

Affirmation Corner

Anxiety might make me feel uncomfortable but
I am in charge of my mind and body.

I am attracting positive energy into my body.

I am more and more calm with each deep breath I take.

I deserve everything I want in life.

I love myself unconditionally.

My gifts are one-of-a-kind and unique to me.

Haiku

By Paul Teerlinck

Can I just be with
You? Can I just feel with you?
Can I let love heal?

An empty cup has
No water to quench the thirst.
How will I fill it?

Now is the time.
Forever, now is the time.
What am I doing now

I want to fit in
My own skin without pleasing
The demons within.
