“Poetry is the heroine of the soul; she fights the worlds injustice with grace, strength and vision.”
With grace and love, shine within these pages. Inspiration is already within you, your job is to find it.
Some breathe air to survive, others find their oxygen in the places they thrive. Poetry is my oxygen, may my breath give you new life.
Life Is A Puzzle

The Unconscious Process
Do not fret if you pull a thread as you lay to rest your head, For the anger will only breed contempt. Be greater than you are. JX
Destination: The Minds Oasis
Only peril can be found on the direct path to the minds oasis, proceed with caution and prepare to turn around. Much like drinking salt water to rehydrate, death can be sought where hope is found. Step forward and dare to bleed.JX
Immoral Debut
Exhaustion is not for the weak.Exhaustion shows depth of heart, resilience and character. Forging a path beyond the expectations of others can be exhausting,If your moral compass is set right – press on. If others question your moral fiber without thought to teach you, That is a deduction from their character – not yours. Keep…
The Regret Before Me
May the opportunities that pass you by give you strength and may the time between bring you humility.

Keep pushing forward, that is where you will find your future.Warmly, JX
Between Ignorance And Arrogance
Where is it that you find your strength? Is it with ignorance, arrogance or somewhere in-between? Clarity cannot be within obscurity and confusion of a tainted and toxic smokescreen. Be wise enough to see your strength, And strong enough to challenge your own wisdom. JX
I Am The Victory
For years my association with the word disability ate away at my self-worth like a bitterly slow poison, designed to blind my vision to who I am and all I could be.If this resonates, may you find strength by seeing your own resilience and becoming empowered by your own story. No-one can discount you, not…
Perfections Misconception
Difference unites and divides within the space of a breath, Without compassion we rise but limit our depth.

Angel In Beasts Clothing
The hurt we feel is not an excuse to walk away from our values unless we allow it;We are all human and we are all imperfect – we react, we hurt and make mistakes all in the name of self protection. Can you separate the human from the beast in your mind? JX

Without Care
Never base your worth off another person’s arrogance. You may not be experienced, you may not know it all, but if you choose to listen to them it is a fail not a fall. Stumble, hurt, feel your way by making mistakes and allowing yourself the grace of compassion. You will find each moment holds…

F*** You Cancer
Hearing the words you have cancer is one of the most surreal moments one may experience. There is nothing more terrifying of the unknown and its vices.

Loves (Per)versions
There is a difference between loving a person and being in-love. I wish that I had more to say on the topic, but all I know is it is near impossible to be in-love with a person who treats you badly. You might choose to stay in the situation because you love them (or for…
Uncomfort Rises, Brokenness Falls

Frozen Queen
Each one of us holds a darkness somewhere deep within our heart. Do not waste your energy and debate whether it is there. It is there. We merely decide the contrast.

A Reason Not To Change
Would you bow down and grovel at the feet of a person that chose to kick you? Decide how you want others to treat you and then teach them. My beautiful sister sent me this quote last week:”When you’re not used to being confident, confidence feels like arrogance. When you’re not used to getting your…
I’m Sorry

The Fighter Within
Each day we get up we are training ourselves for an ‘end game’.Decide what you want your end game to be, how do you want to be remembered? Do you want to have no responsibility? Do you want to have people respect you? Do you want to create a name of power?When you make decisions…

Salty Heart
One should only fear drowning if they continue to choose not to learn to swim.We are not born knowing how to swim – it takes time, thought, physical duress and energy.

Abandonment never leaves
Recently I have come to find that everytime I put the needs of others before my own I am abandoning myself – As an independent and strong woman you can imagine the horror I felt when my trusted coach kindly pointed this out to me. The truth is, by aligning our contentment with conditions we…

Freedoms Torment
Todays thought might seem difficult to follow but please bear with me. In my experience we innately we feel pulled towards empty situations and those who do not seem to care. Pulling my own tendencies apart I wonder if this is driven by wanting more, wanting to see change but choosing not to become it.…
Internal View
No matter what it is you believe, love is love and requires no reprieve. Be kind to those who make it tough, but remember to hold your boundaries – because otherwise it’s rough!And don’t forget to thank yourself for showing up the way you do, Without your light the false becomes true. JX
The Journey Of Inwardness
Power, love, respect – whatever it is that you are looking for you will find it within yourself. There have been times that I have given respect to others until I could feel the beginnings of my own demise – suddenly I became victim to the story I was creating. I chose to continually give…

From the inside
” We choose when we have had enough,yet, it all amounts to trauma if we don’t let go with love. ” Trauma is relative to our own experiences – another person can add the value of perspective to a situation but ultimately we are the ones who decide what to do with that trauma. In…
Provisional Love

Resilience is found in the centre of chaos. Darkness will try disguise your progress, so shine brightly and focus on what is gives you energy. JX
Conditions and contradictions
Our mistakes should be seen as commitment to our future opportunities. Blindsided blows do not state that we were naïve, in-fact they speak of trust, faith and hope. There will be time when we compromise ourselves for others, when this time comes – may the risk be worth it. JX
The Rose In My Heart

11. Embrace the flame within
To embrace our experiences and own the path in which you travel is to honor all that you have been; to see all that you are; and to trust all that you will become.One of my favorite mantras is ‘within my power I stand within integrity, act from conscious intention, speak with Love and Fear…
10. The weak become the strong
Strength doesn’t lie within the name, it lies within the moment. Two years ago shaving my head for the Leukemia foundation I felt liberated, strong and confident; empowerment ran through my veins, I was changed from that experience and haven’t looked back. Everywhere I went people would comment and tell me how wonderful I looked,…
9. Cast your shadow
As we walk through life we experience the rawness of duality and what that brings to us. Rarely are we encouraged to embrace the shadow within. Instead, we are encouraged to ‘perform’ for society in a way that ‘satisfies’.Unconsciously, running a race that has no end. Eager to win, to please, we run – missing…
8. Breaking in silence to find purpose
Within moments of breaking, seeing past the next hour or minute seems impossible. The future doesn’t seem to matter because you can’t see it. Falling from grace kills a piece of you, take your hope and leave nothing in its place, deepening the void. Within this raw state we feel the cut of emotion; although,…
7. Truth behind beauty
*To protect privacy, patient names have been changed in this story American author Margaret Wolfe Hungerford once wrote ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. I believe this is true. Beauty can only be defined by the one experiencing it’s magnificence. To me, this quote speaks of external value, how others see us, until the…
6. Explore the depths
In the moment that we break, we experience true reality. There is nothing that can take away the rawness of our hurt, our grief, or our anger. We feel fear as though it is all we have. This cancer experience for me, changed my life as I knew it. I’ve been lead by a strong…
5. Be the fool
Falling from grace holds us in a position of questioning and realisation, if we chose it to be so. The Truth is, we only have now. We are promised nothing other than the present moment we are in, and that is our blessing. One of the greatest challenges we can experience is allowing ourselves the…
4. Hair we go
Empowerment is a product of choice. We have a knowing and understanding that we are safe.Every single one of us is entitled to empowerment, choice and safety.Cancer and it’s treatment dictates. We are told what it is we must endure in order to ‘win’ or gain ‘victory’. Choice is power. Choice is freedom. Choice is…
3. Empowerment within the scars of change
As children we see our bodies with curiousity and wonder; at some point this changes and we start to see the world through societies scope. We become obsessed with others. Obsessed with what they can do, what they look like, what they have or haven’t got. Our energy is spent comparing. Our energy is spent…
2. Smiling and feeling joy on a foundation of quicksand
The truth that had I spent most my life running from is: Life is not meant to have a solid foundation.Never will we wake from sleep and know what to expect from the day to come. We may think we know what our experience will be that day; it may occur, but, it may not.…
1. Dance within the light
We wake in the morning and we begin making choices. Some emerge from a place of conscious desire, and others are a commitment to our subconscious. The beauty of this life that we hold dear is: Freewill. We have a voice, we can use this voice to speak words of Joy, Anger, Empowerment, Concern, Justification,…
