What does Summer mean when she says: Be Blessed
A blessing can be:
- a prayer
- something that contributes or promotes to your wellness, prosperity or happiness
- a seal of approval
When I say, “Be Blessed,” I hope you are open to to all the goodness that is available to you today. I believe every day is a gift and every day has treasures to be found. And Joy is a choice.
You can choose to be a victim, a liar, and a participant in your own downfall, OR you can choose to overcome as many hurdles as you are able, tell the truth, and learn new tools to be healthier and better able tomorrow.
When I say, “I love you.” I will love you regardless of your choice. But your choice may limit your access to me. Because I also believe everyone is a trauma survivor and we all deserve respect, gentleness, consequences.

We don’t say drive safe
because you are a bad driver
But because sometimes you might be tired
from working overtime so you can pay your bills

My friend sent an article today
about people I’m related to
And I don’t see it her way anymore
Because I can’t

Whether awake or in dreams

and my joints pop
We Are Cowlitz Strong
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is The Lord God Almighty
and I am one of His
but there are people running around
Daughter of Kelso-Longview
Sometimes we moan
whether in our body or Spirit
when words aren’t enough
“The Spirit intercedes with groanings
I Am A Warrior
There is a monster in my closet
I didn’t put her there
But I remember a life
before it wasn’t
I Live Authentically
I have been made small since I was about 4
My gestures
My words
My thoughts and feelings were often too big
I Am On Team Jamie
I told my therapist I felt like crying
I had letters to write to the school board
but I was too emotional
Matthew said to write first drafts
What We Call Our Creator
When my soul cries out
she calls Him Elohim
When I looked it up it is the
Hebrew word for Creator
Choose Your Frequency
The sky is quiet but the earth is shaking
and people are not at peace
This is called
psychological frequency warfare
Warm Blankets
When it gets too cold
my joints curse me
and talking becomes explosive
The nerves in my face might have
All Of History
Many White men is assholes cause they can be
They live up on they hill with the bright lights
cause they has all the money
and they stand on people like me
While They Posture
There’s a clown running around
showcasing a monument
we have held dear since the beginning
He has all but lit it on fire
I Am Here For My Creator
Do you practice in the Spirit or in the law
Is it more important to have butts in the seats
Or do you walk in the Spirit and Truth
When you vote is it based on blind elephants
Skin Deep
She stands on top of Black ancestors shoulders
taught to read by White women
creating change the only way they knew how
The ones who came before her
Sumatriptan
If my eyeballs melted out of head
or I vomited this pain inside
The effects would probably last longer than
the migraine that was not invited
Because We Are the Same
Maybe it’s the flower moon
Maybe it’s your birthday coming up
But I seem to be pulling weeds
And letting things go
Let Me Go
You were supposed to love me
and you failed
I told you and you didn’t care
If you have been thinking
Because You Said So
I am Yours
No matter how many rings
I put on my ears and nose
fingers and toes
The One In the Mirror
Have you ever looked at your reflection and thought
This is not me
or wow I have been through something
Have you watched yourself change
Grace is Amazing
In this moment I feel You
I can hear the praises
my soul sings to You
in words I don’t know
Being Chronic is No Joke
The ringing in my ears
swings between the normal hum
and somewhere beyond octaves I can’t sing
My eyes weep involuntarily
You Don't Listen
There is more than one frequency
that I pick up on
Not just what the world demands
and my sick body requires
All Hail The King
On this 16th day of March 2026
I know this day is giving
The prophets I have listened to
agreed that this day was
Because They Love You
I was breathed into life
by The Creator
The All Powerful
They were here before even the stars
I Want to be Real
I was raised in a
conservative church and
a conservative family
I did what I was told
To Be Honest
I was a hypocrite once
I was so well trained that I didn’t know who I was
I didn’t have words or experience or reason to think in
any other way until I did
You Stupid People
I see your arguments
your hateful comments
about people with brown skin
that you have never met
We Love Each Other the Same
I was thinking we love differently
but that isn’t true
because we both love completely
You tell me you love me
We Are Hope
Every day you wake up
to things you didn’t think
would ever happen
It’s hard to hope
This is Kelso-Longview
It’s 4:41 am and I hear the rain
and I hope the embers
at The Red Lion Inn will finally extinguish
because I don’t want Kelso
Divided
Thirty eight thousand times he is mentioned in the Epstein Files
In over five thousand three hundred documents
his name is found
Does that make him guilty
Those Who Are Vulnerable
It’s almost as if my body wasn’t mine
Opinions rain down around me
Regardless of the season
By the time I learned
The Power of These
The bad guys look like good guys
In fact they look like
grandpas and brothers
uncles and daddies and friends

When I am with you
I am at capacity
I am acceptable by myself
Yet I am optimized
