I’m keeping a safe passage jar this year. Each time I return home from a flight, I’m adding a glitter ball. Added another one today after a 5+ hour flight. #SafePassageJar #Gratitude

For the second year, I kept a joy jar. Well, technically, a joy container. In January 2025, my joy jar shattered, so I bought a new container and continued my weekly joy reflection. Reading my joyful moments of 2025 filled my heart and lit me up. I recommend it. #JoyJar #LoveOnPurpose #JoyOnPurpose

As you reflect on 2025, consider what you think, talk about, and how spend your time. Your output is directly related to your input. #LiveWithIntention #LiveOnPurpose

There’s a difference between a kind person having a moment of selfishness and a selfish person having a moment of kindness. Seeing people honestly helps you love yourself more honestly.

Great piece by Forbes. In my most recent #leadership position, I made it a point to check in with my team, especially the highest performers. This article confirms a lot of what I heard from them. www.forbes.com/sites/dianeh...

Smile big and smile free. #NationalPoetryMonth #poem #poetry #WritersCommunity
Poem Smile Free

She smiles, but I know better
Bad choices are her drug
Accepting unhealthy connections
On an unquenchable quest for love

My heart fills with gratitude
Knowing that her past and mine are the same
Because my journey turned me toward the light
And she simply can’t walk through her pain

Thankful to be centered and whole
Following the passage through my truth
Truth that I can recall and not crumble
Truth that gathers around her neck like a noose

Hopeful for the day when she stops pretending
That her pain hasn’t become her priest
The day when she can look at truth and really smile
Smile big and smile free

Embrace the warmth of your own sun. #NationalPoetryMonth #poem #poetry
Poem called Be Hopeful.

I want to be hopeful
Embrace the warmth of your sun
Give full-body smiles free reign
Open my arms wide
Let my soul skip 

But I know the pattern
Joy is where we start
In that undeniable haze
Until I take a deep breath 
And find myself in hiatus 

I want to be hopeful
But I know this script
So I take in each scene, each gesture
Until space and fear sets in
And the effortless becomes effort less

We twirl like leaves in the wind
Spinning until we’re no longer
Only traces of electricity
And whispers of be hopeful morph 
Into taunts of be hope, fool

The voice of the whisperer
Is the same as the one who taunts
Maybe it wasn’t what was said
But how I heard
Be hopeful
When the plea was, “Be hope. Full.”
Let my soul skip 
Open my arms wide
Give full-body smiles free reign 
Embrace the warmth of my own sun

What’s unsaid speaks so loudly. #poem #poetry #writer #WritersOfBluesky
Poem that says, What’s unsaid speaks so loudly. A sliver of hesitation swells into surges of silence, until you choke on the weight of the words you hold back. You look up and discover a relationship drifted from safe haven and carefree to unfamiliar and careful. You search for words that used to simply be but when truth is strangled, what’s unsaid becomes undid, and then it’s undone. And nothing you can say can save it. Because what’s unsaid finds its own way to be free.

In honor of Women’s History Month…
Poem

In honor of Women's History Month, I'm sharing one of my poems.

Power incomparable to anything that can be described
responsible for incubating love, through life

A spirit that refuses to break, though strained and stressed
a master of sensitivity, a professional in elegance

Composed of graceful strength, beauty beaming from within
able to change a life with a look and a grin

A nurturer, providing what may be internally depleted
first to donate, last to take, just because someone else needed

Seeking discernment is wise, following intuition is logical
capable of visualizing with the heart, seeing the unbelievable as possible

An essence with a value that cannot be measured
as soft, delicate, and indestructible as a feather

Life can break her heart, but she remains whole
I love being born with a woman's soul
