Tell Yourself ~ Flashback Friday

I have not consistently blogged for over a year, so I went into my files on my computer. On February 18, 2018, I saved this photo. I thought it would be great to share for Fandango's Flashback Friday for two reasons. The first is that it's inspirational and beautiful, and the second is that I …

The Move ~ Flashback Friday

For today's Flashback Friday from Fandango, I have a post that I wrote originally on January 31, 2018, since I did not have the 21st. I was not a consistent blogger in recent years. I wrote this about a month after my move to California from Arkansas. I have uprooted my rootsAway from the place …

Backstep: The Fight Within

This post that I am sharing for Flashback Friday is a sad one. I originally published this on my old blog on March 17, 2016. My dad had just passed in January, and the family got pretty ugly. I took the loss pretty hard. Back Step: The Fight Within This week has been one of those …

Forever Isn’t Long Enough

Originally Published 4/10/2016 A million stars could light the skyYou would still be my shining lightThrough all of the sorrow and painThrough the blindness of lifeWeeding through the darknessTogether forever.

Her Shining Star – Flashback Friday

Each week, Fandango hosts a prompt called Flashback Friday. He invites us to share an old post from the previous year or on the exact number date (19th) of any month if you do not have a post for the exact date. This is a post from my old blog, and it was a poem …

E.M.’s Flashback Friday – 11/12/2021

I had to go back to my archive of poetry from my old blog to find something to share for today's Flashback Friday prompt from Fandango. I did not have a post for the exact date of today, but I did have one for the date of 6/12/2016. It made me remember how long my …

I Found Out Today

Little secrets, little liesIrrelevant at the time Two hours later, not enough timeI was never really on your mind Deception of mind, trying too hardYou never were really mine All my money, financially struckYou used me while you moved on Blame game, hurting my soulI'm singing my same ole song Loyalty I gave, destruction receivedMy …

Flashback Friday – Grounded Happily

This post was originally published on October 29,2020. I am sharing it again for Fandango's Flashback Friday. I remember this day very well. It was a good day and clarified my standing with myself. I lost it again somewhere between then and now, but I am slowly coming back up. It's funny how time changes …

E.M.’s Flashback Friday – October 22, 2021

Each Friday, Fandango has a Flashback Friday to bring current one of our past posts. I did not have one for the 22nd on any of my submissions, which was funny to me, but I was not always consistent on posting. The post I am going to share with you is a poem from April …

You Inspire Me, Dad

Last January I lost my father, and it has been one of the hardest things that I have ever encountered in my life.  The feeling that I will never be able to call him, hear his voice, complain about this or that...it's overwhelming still after a year of him being gone.  I think the word …
