Poetic licence

“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.

May you find beauty within life and all of its imperfections; may these imperfections give you the permission to be perfect exactly as you are.

Life Is A Puzzle

Each one of us is playing their own version of life, Resect the other players and learn to respect yourself. There is no time to waste playing games, what changes will you make before you run out of health? JX

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

Pilot Light

If they reek of gas, walk away and let them fume. 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. Passive detachment is perhaps one of lifes greatest gifts for it enables us to pursue our visions and goals whilst grounding ourselves in what is. 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. Be kind to difference and be understanding of others; For all we have is one-another so learn to love my sisters and brothers.Be brave enough to shatter your own version of perfection, or face a life of…

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

Obeying Graces Shadow

You are stronger than you know, sometimes our resilience is disguised within our weakness. JX For more content, subscribe:

Preacher?

Get in the arena but do not follow the orders of the crowd – they may wish you favor but they cannot understand what you need in order to survive! Train with the gladiators and learn from the veterans because once your foot graces the floor of that arena you are on your own. I…

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…

The Underground Story

Be fearless and always be the underdog. Comfort will tell you, you need not go further; but it is you that must decide where your heart resides. Push forward, there’s another level for you – you just have to believe it is there! JX

The Whole World Within Her Vision

Twisted And Hurled?

Control what you can, control yourself. You are capable of more than you know – make a commitment to yourself and you’ll always grow. Lifes triggers allow for us to show up in a different way – a way that reflects who we are in this current moment. Do not be hard on yourself, accept…

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. One thing I’ve come to know as truth, the outcome will never speak to the strength of the fighter. For those reading this and experiencing cancer using every…

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

There is a simplicity to life that many cannot comprehend, our lives are like incense burning until the end. We may choose to be the ash that falls and we can choose to be the mess, Or we may burn with purpose and honor the process. May you be giving and bless others with reminiscence…

Souls Ambition

May you come to realise that you are your craft; and may your take your time to master it. Your world will change with every choice you make;You need not venture out to change the worlds of others because it is the way we create our own world that inspires change. Be the best self…

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. Does one show strength by proving themselves? OrDoes one become strong and be themselves? The choice is yours, will you add more light into…

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

As we grow in wisdom we come to learn that our choices reflect our world views. Indeed a person will show you who they are within the first 10 minutes of meeting them and we as individuals respond based on our current view of the world and ourselves. Take a minute to reflect on that.…

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…

I Am Her.

Almost everyone knows the feeling of abandonment, and often to avoid feeling helpless again, many choose to follow every commandment.

Cheap Fuel

There will be times throughout our lives in which we lose control or fall victim to another persons negligence. At the end of the day we are the ones who make the decision – do we write ourselves off? or, do we write off the situation? In my own life I have come to find…

Let each step prove that you can, or, let each failure prove that you can’t. The choice is yours. Lifes greatest muse is often found within hardship, scarcity and fear. The inspiration you draw is for you to use. Please do not sit back and expect for life to happen to/for you – you have…

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. This concept transfers over to basically everything we do, if we want to improve our interpersonal relationships, our role at work, our lifestyle we…

The Breath Of Life

There will be times in which we do not feel the water around us because we share the same temperature and the only way to see what your next breath will be is to open your eyes. Do not panic, for this concept holds no reality – here you can breath underwater but you must…

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…

Nemesis

Each an every one of us have done something that we are not proud of. When we make a mistake we ask for grace, when someone else makes a mistake we seek justice. This is not just. Let us be strong enough to wear the wrongs of others with the same grace we seek on…

Choose love, choose pain.

To love is to hurt and so I wish you healing along lifes path. May you show up with compassion and respect to those around you – not just those who deserve it. By judging others and their worthiness for basic human interactions then we are being judgmental. Today, lift your head and say hello…

Objectify yourself

May you cleanse those around you through love and sacrifice of pride,leave this world cleaner than you found it and may you never create the divide. JX

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…

Each moment we are gifted is an opportunity to be – the what is of our choosing. How do you want to be remembered? How do you want to show up for others – and more importantly yourself?Set yourself up to be the best self you can, know your morals and understand your values. Each…

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

You have hurt, you have been hurt and each day moving forward you risk the same. Be clear on your intentions, with in and so with out – smokescreens fade and leave a trail of poison that cannot be repossessed. See yourself as you are, in time rise above to see others as they are…

Stupefied

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

Honor the people who dare to show up in our worlds as light; Often the great are humble and they will not speak of their fight.As for you today, be the light for another, as light knows no threat;For love is the language you’ll never learn to regret. JX

Wonder-less

Plagues of stories are not just fables,use your wisdom and turn the tables.Choose the path that supports creation,And back yourself fully to avoid exploitation. JX

You are dumped!

Be who you are and do not apologise, for without respect a table for two is no prize.Waves will break upon you, there is no escape. In your magnificence they will shape you, so don’t sweat the scrape. JX

Home

We limit ourselves and believe we are not enough, lighting up the darkness within us. The work is yours, find the light and fight the darkness. JX

Beyond grace

We need not reach towards the light, for grace is found any where we choose it to be.Keep your heart warm and your mind strong. JX

Deprived mind

Keep your head held high and may nothing break you. Rise above the deprived minds that placed you here, for they will only ever know want, hate and fear. JX

The Longest Moment

The Fight Of Life

I walked through those doors and like the drums of war my heart embraced its beat. I am ready to fight the demon within as I step toward the poison of salvation. The gracious flow enters my veins so begins the fight of life. May the drums of war echo and strike fear into the…

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,…
