Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


You are Brave

Don’t compare

your courage

to others

Some may roar like lions

literally a tidal wave

as they move forward

with strength and vibrato

Others are quiet

in their strength

their courage

looks like

getting out of bed

each day

Don’t judge your courage

by the standards of this world

You know in your heart

the step of courage

you took today

and I’m telling you

You are brave

About Me

An obsessive journaler who loves meeting others along their journey and giving them a hand to hold through pieces of writing. I write about the heartbreaks of life and the joys, the ups and downs, and I often learn my greatest lessons and miracles from nature.
