If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

“Keep dreaming in color

And drawing your dreams

On cement floors

Until they are realized.” ~ Alicia Keys

I would love to walk a minute in this woman’s shoes.

I am a huge social justice advocate; just like Alicia.

I just can’t sing (hahah).

In all seriousness, I have recently finished her memoir and respect her as an individual human and artist.

Her confidence, her ability to be her authentic self and her family values are commendable.

I would like to think I mirror some of her traits: I also boycott make-up and I am also a social justice advocate.

To have fame and fortune as a platform to live those values would be surreal.

To have a voice that gives a gift every time you sing– again surreal.

What would that feel like?

I believe in bucket-filling (a little twist on the bucket list). I want a platform to share my artform(s) that already fill my bucket. I have the degree(s). I survived the young child rearing years. I've landed the leadership dream job. It's time to fill my bucket. Focus on what lights my fire. Rebranding this blog (yet again) to meet me where I am at in this journey called life. I will share my creative writing. I will share my photography. I will share my thoughts on this crazy journey we call life. I like to keep it real. I refuse to live up to "the image". I don't use filters. What you see (read) is what you get. I hope you enjoy the read and I will try to balance what I share in a meaningful way. Ultimately, I keep this blog for me. You (my imagined audience) are an awesome bonus! Mom/ Nurse/ Harm Reduction Advocate/ Hobbiest Photographer/ Freelance writer/ (maybe) a poet {thanks to a recent writing mentor}
