Getting Acquainted
I spend most of my time playing alpha female for my pack of dogs. Lucy (Boston terrier), Harley (chihuahua). Hershey (miniature dachshund) and Jasper (standard schnauzer) are my entertainment and sometimes muses. Jasper is a puppy mill rescue dog and I'm in the intital stages of writing a series of vignettes of his life since the rescue contrasted with eduaction about rescues and puppy mills. I do actually have other interests than writing and my dogs. I love to scrapbook, watch ice hockey, listen to a variety of music genres and reading. My parents both were avid readers and passed that love on to me. I'll read a cereal box if you set it in front of me!
Pain is Thy Name
Pain is Thy Name

I remember all their names,
those who have hurt me
in the past.
Scars tattooed upon
my fragile heart.
They destroyed
my trust,
my dignity,
my self-worth.

Pain inflicted upon the heart
is often the slowest to heal.

I've lived in the shadows,
afraid to face the light.
Does true, honest love
really exist?
I thirst for it,
but am frightened
to taste it.

It is said time heals all wounds.
A long time has passed.
It is time to begin the healing.
