I can write, sing, paint etc. I am one of those people who love so may different subjects. But something changed, drastically. It began the day that I stopped pretending; when one by one I removed the toxins, the excuses and the lies that I told myself. All the noise.
I had buried my dreams so deep inside of me that life eventually shook me so hard, to such an extent that I ended up in rehab. Part of my journey of healing required that I share my inner world with you. I committed to writing a poem each Monday and sharing it with you. This practice became my way of opening my heart and remembering the way to my dreams. And that is where my musical journey began.
Anyhow, you will find selected poems that I have written between 2014 – 2017, a lot of which are a work in progress towards my poetry book. Currently, my focus is on my music and I am trusting that process. When it comes to my poems, I will let you know as soon as my book is out one day because this is how the magic began. In the meantime, please feel free to read my poems, listen to my music and come to my concerts. Discover what poetry is for you. For me, each poem and song that I write is a plea for love in this world.
I believe that silence is golden. I believe that most answers lie in nature, meditation and yoga; within ourselves. I believe in love.

You are most welcome. Yes indeed, “life is cyclical”; we learn and then we also unlearn. “All of us have something worthwhile to contribute”; each person we meet will teach us something. The key is to let it be quiet enough to be able to really listen. Thank you for visiting, for your kind words and for reminding me of this Stephanae. Have a lovely weekend. 🙂

Hi Nomzi, thank you for visiting my blog and connecting with me. I love the authenticity on your “About” page and what you say about “when I got rid of all the toxins, the excuses and the lies that I told myself. All that noise.” resonated with me because though I’m not there yet ridding myself of the “noise” is what I’m working towards. Many times I think about going off the grid but then I come back to the realization that life is cyclical and all of us have something worthwhile to contribute. Thank you again and I can’t wait to read your poetry. ~Steph
