Chocolate desserts

Dear Chocolate,
Oh how I love thee,
dear chocolate.
However,
it seems
you don't love me
as much as I love you.
I enjoy your fruits
every day
but your butter
blocks my digestion
and I seem to have
an addiction
to your splendor.
Removing your beauty
from my life
leaves me with
a splitting headache,
achy muscles,
and a grumpy attitude.
And so,
I'm breaking up with you
dear chocolate.
I may allow myself
a bit of decadence
on special occasions
but for now
our daily meetings
must come to an end.
I bid you farewell,
dear chocolate.

Welcome

I've been writing blogs on the internet since 2007. Like my life, my words have wandered from Wisdom or Life Lessons and Wellness, to Gardening and Aquaponics. After my son’s death by suicide in 2016, Poetry became a big piece of my world as I tried to make sense of the tragedy of his death.

In truth, his death took me into my own journey with darkness. I've shared a bit during the last ten years but nothing in comparison to what I've written. Only recently have I started to climb back into life and the desire to share my writing.

These days, my writing is varied and inspired by the moment. I participate in two writing group, one where we write to prompts from a book by Judy Reeves called A Writer’s Book of Days: A Spirited Companion and the other where we journey and then write about our experience or about the wisdom gained. Much of this writing is buried in journals in my office. As I move forward, Some of that will be found under Stories, Magic and the Mystical.

How do you read this jumble of topics? You can read what’s latest, type a word into Search and see what comes up, or select a Topic from the Blog Content below. However you read, I hope you enjoy.

Blessings, Victoria
