I’m Coming Out

I’m Coming Out

I’m coming out.
no, not as a same sex loving woman,
or as a biracial woman,
or as person with a disability
or as any other label others have told me
I should be out about.
I am coming out as who I am
and encourage you to come out too.
Come out
about your strengths and weaknesses.
Come out
about your fears and your courage.

When we come out
about all of who we are
we live in an honest and authentic balance.
I love tattling on myself,
outing myself about my being human.
When we come out
we give equal time and attention
to all of who we are
and in doing so
open the opportunities to connect,
to share,
to grow,
to evolve,
and to help others
come out
so they can do the same.
I’m coming out,
are you?

Born Before Roe vs Wade

Born Before Roe vs Wade

It started off with a student asking me about  books to read  on women’s history
and then I found the one that forced me to stop
about women who gave children up before Roe vs Wade.
That was me.
I am one of those children whose mother did not have a choice.
She might have given me up anyway
but I will never know.
The reality is she had no choice,
at least not a safe one.
Perhaps that is why choice is so important to me.
I want to have choice in my life,
about how to live,
who to love,
what to do with my body
and I want others to have choices as well.
I have long thought of my birth mother
as a woman of strength and courage.
I can only imagine what she sacrificed for me.
I always say I was conceived, born, and raised in courage.
The courage of a Jewish woman who at least for one night
dared to lust, if not more,
for a black man.
of my foster parents who cared for me
as a biracial bay in the 1950’s
of my parents, who adopted me, and
always taught me to walk in my truth
and supported my choices,
even when they did not agree with them.
The stories of these women have been documented,
but now I wonder what the powerful stories are
of children like me
who were born before Roe v Wade.

Breathing

Breathing

Have you ever heard or read
about a person in need and
felt called to do something?
Sometimes I do.
Then I take a moment,
and focus in on them
and breathe in and
breathe out love and support.
I take a moment
to listen to their distress
and breathe in
and breathe out prayers
for what they need.
I may not be able to
physically relieve their distress,
however, I can send them love,
support,
positive energy,
and courage
to make it through.
Even in the worst of my physical conditions
I can still breathe
and send others
breaths of love and prayers.
As the Universe has breathed life into others,
I can breathe healing and positive energy
to others.
When you feel moved to help
remember you can sit in spirit with them and
breathe.

It's Raining

It’s Raining

I still remember the day
I got caught in the rain without an umbrella.
It wasn’t a physical rain,
but an emotional, mental and spiritual one.
It was the day I learned I might have cancer.
it was the day I felt as if I was caught in the heaviest of rain
without an umbrella.
The only one who could be my umbrella was me.
I had to look within me and
find the strength which would see me through.
I had to reach out to the Ultimate as if
it was the umbrella I could open up
to stay dry.
It did, but not in a physical sense.
It kept me focused on the future,
the possibilities,
the strength,
and the endurance to go through.
It is what I still tap on today
when I need to remember
I am an overcomer.
My rain reminded me of
my strength,
my faith,
and all the storms
I have walked through.
It reminded me of the peace
I have had while it is raining
harder then ever
and harder then I can imagine.
It may be raining
and pouring,
but in the midst of it all,
I am the umbrella
and the one who will keep me dry.
