Happy Thursday

Posted on by Nova

Happy Thursday!! It’s a slightly chilly and wet morning here in Cleveland Ohio. That’s ok, though, because my kids have adorable Paw Patrol umbrellas, so rain on. I’m not as excited about standing in the rain… But, I can imagine lemon drops and gum drops right?… Or skittles?? I love those who much more. What candy do you like? Do you have a cute umbrella? Do your rainbows have all the colors?

^ You can’t see rainbows without the rain.

^ Rainbows are proof that there’s light after darkness.

When You’re Finding It Hard To Move On From An Almost — Read This — Thought Catalog

Posted on by Nova

1. You’re not crazy, or silly, for not being able to move forward from this. You don’t have to date someone to have feelings for them. You don’t have to be labeled as boyfriend/girlfriend for someone to have a special place in your heart — commitment isn’t the only measure of meaning for a relationship.…

April Freakin Showers

Posted on by Nova

I made a decision.

Maturity has taught me to address it with the individual.

Maturity has taught me that I am able to recognize my needs and wants.

Maturity has taught me that I need to recognize my needs and wants.

Maturity has taught me that I need to prioritize those things.

Maturity has taught me that I am ABLE & NEED to verbalize such things to an individual I value.

Maturity has, also, taught me that an individual who values me, will DEMONSTRATE respect towards such things.

I made a decision.

I made another decision after that…

Though I am proud of myself…

The response was plenty to disconcert me…

And make my heart cry.

Yes, I recognize I have no control over their behavior.

Yes, I recognize I “should” OR “could”…

But, I recognize my pain…

I recognize the depth of how I feel would NEVER

Accept suppression and avoidance… ever.

So, maturity has taught me that which I accept is teaching them how I am to be treated.

I made a final decision.

Eugi’s Weekly Prompt

Posted on by Nova
Find all the details of the challenge by clicking the image.

They were strangers,

In a room full of couples.

The instructor paired them,

They locked eyes.

The first step, then

The second.. Over and over,

Everyone practiced.

Sometimes the music played,

And sometimes all that surrounded

Them…muffled.

Intensely transforming the

awkwardness

To an ecstatic & impeccable

synchronization.

The class created a new song,

their song…

The song that only

Souls understand.

“ She tasted like memory…” he typed, trying to begin his final term paper for his Composition 408 class.

He’s known about this assignment since the first day of class. What he couldn’t possibly know, nor prepare for, was what was to come.

The lies, and secrets, and all the skeletons in their closets… LITERALLY! Nick doesn’t know how he managed to escape the nightmare, with only a two inch scar on his back….

…In the location of his kidney.

Weekend Writing Prompt: Fabric

Posted on by Nova

The fabrics of ethnicity, race, talent, gift, nationality, personality, religion, and interests compose our individualized DNA.

These beautiful fabrics remain solid, as they are passed down from generation to generation. They combine and recollect into combinations that ceaselessly birth a gift of human life.

Fabric is spiritually as well as physically intertwined in our identity. Distinct fabric is used to sew flags for our military personnel, in the uniforms they wear, and the gear they carry.

It’s a small overlooked detail that indeed, signifies so much.

🌱 Plants

Posted on by Nova

We have plants!! Ahaha! That always feels amazing to say/see. Our seeds are never anything special, organic or expensive. Our soil is usually from The Dollar Tree. I honestly believe though, that our plants always feel our excitement and love for growing/nurturing.
We have broccoli, sunflowers, green beans, and corn growing!
Two days ago, I thought back to the summers my family and I traveled to Myrtle Beach. Every year, we’d drive through southern states, and rows and rows and rows of corn fields! The stalks were 6 feet high!! Ha!

I need to find where I can plant these😂😂😂! Lucky me!
