Holy hard day, Batman. It’s late (is it...?). I’m exhausted. Motherhood and work-from-home life has kicked my ass. But these words and this tiny scribble make me happy. I desperately need a drawing tablet as I’m using my index finger and iPhone... Artists, which do you recommend?? I’ve been looking into @wacom... reviews? #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #bymepoetry #wordswithqueens #herheartpoetry #omypoetry #writer #writerscommunity #amwriting #motherhoodrising #wordmedicine #writersnetwork ##writersofinstagram #amwriting #empowerment #poetsoninstagram #shawnraepoetry

Believing in your own work is hard work. I constantly question whether or not my words are worthy of being shared. I wrestle with the idea that someone somewhere has already said what I’m saying in one form or another... which I understand is a reflection of our connection as human beings. Nothing is necessarily original, it has all been felt or said or done before... but what’s unique about the what’s is the how’s and the who. Meaning you and your work. I received perhaps the greatest sign that my work gets the proverbial nod from the universe yesterday. An old friend requested that I speak at her wedding; write a piece on love and compassion steeped in connection and spiritually and recite my art to the hearts of the people she holds in hers. It was the most beautiful request I have ever received, one that humbled me and honored me all at once. It allowed me, at least for the moment, to settle into confirmation of my purpose here. To love; to be it, write it, spread it, empower with it, inspire it, and even speak at a ceremony devoted to it. Stand in your light, friends. Even in the times when everything around you seems dark, someone, somewhere is touched by it. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #bymepoetry #wordswithqueens #herheartpoetry #omypoetry #writer #writerscommunity #amwriting #motherhoodrising #wordmedicine #writersnetwork ##writersofinstagram #amwriting #empowerment #poetsoninstagram #shawnraepoetry

Watched Wonder Woman last night and felt so damn proud to be a woman, had to write a piece dedicated to it. My heart is full knowing that this is the superhero Fallon will grow to cherish. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #bymepoetry #wordswithqueens #herheartpoetry #omypoetry #writer #writerscommunity #amwriting #motherhoodrising #womenempowerment #wonderwoman #lovetrumpshate #wordmedicine #writersnetwork ##writersofinstagram #amwriting #empowerment #poetsoninstagram #shawnraepoetry

Give and take does not mean one gives and one takes. Both give, both take. Both are whole. Do not meet at 50%. You are worthy of the full 100. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #bymepoetry #wordswithqueens #herheartpoetry #omypoetry #writer #writerscommunity #amwriting #motherhoodrising #wordmedicine #writersnetwork ##writersofinstagram #amwriting #empowerment #shawnraepoetry

Shared the afternoon with a dear, childhood friend last weekend. She’s facing some heavy challenges, but her backyard is full of Mother Nature’s most beautiful magic. That’s the thing about my sweet friend, she has a heart of gold and a soul that summons magic, which tells me none of these obstacles stand a chance. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #bymepoetry #wordswithqueens #herheartpoetry #omypoetry #writer #writerscommunity #amwriting #motherhoodrising #wordmedicine #writersnetwork ##writersofinstagram #amwriting #empowerment #shawnraepoetry

When breakups seem suspiciously easy... when we do not allow ourselves to mourn the loss of the soul we showed our own to, we do ourselves a disservice. Healing is necessary. Pain will lurk within the shadows casted by the light of a new love. And when you least expect it, it will show up and demand attention. So show up for what’s up or it will keep coming up. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #bymepoetry #wordswithqueens #herheartpoetry #omypoetry #writer #writerscommunity #amwriting #motherhoodrising #wordmedicine #writersnetwork ##writersofinstagram #amwriting #empowerment #shawnraepoetry
