Magic Shadows
Most of our magic happens in the shadows,
where no one sees,
no one applauds,
but it's in those moments that we stand up for ourselves
that changes everything.
Keeping promises to ourselves -
this is how we take our power back.
The moments,
single breaths of time,
where we align and realign,
and choose the reframe.
Feed ourselves.
Nourish the bloom.
That’s the magic.
Maybe no one sees,
but you do.

I conceive these pieces with the beat of my heart,
then birth them with the fire of my voice.
