Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Leave the Trail

She’s in a box

and you are not

She’s stuck in one way

but you’ve chosen to explore

and when you leave the trail

and are curious about the things you see

off the beaten path

You will find

not just one wonder

but many

For the flowers you follow

off the road

will lead you to a field of flowers

you would have never seen

if you’d stayed on the trail

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.
