Thanks for being part of the conversation I am the Poet In The Forest. A children series I penned out in the 1990s. None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me. Thanks for being part of the conversation

November 27, 2024   We must be ready to stand up in ways that embrace the entire community and not a select few.  Too much of what we do is based on our point of view.  This journey needs to have a plan and purpose.  It’s time to be willing to accept what’s been planted so that the seeds of hope can bear fruit.  We must gain the confidence to be a little different each and every day.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers.   Our struggles with Father Time.  It is said that nobody has ever defeated him or it.  A few find reason to argue.  Plus… What’s better for you, a long slow walk or a quick pace?  I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Getting caught up in your what if... We're all guilty of asking what if?  It gets in the way of your success and or it serves as a great protection.  What if?

November 26, 2024   I see more people shrugging their shoulders and accepting their next challenge.  Is it a way of being calm or allowing themselves to live only once?  “Oh well.”  It doesn’t even sound positive.  “Oh well.”  If we accept the potential of there being bad times with a simple “Oh well” how do we earn the empowerment of perseverance and dedication?   The human life isn’t a second hand store.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers.   How important is it to visit a friend or family member currently under the care of Hospice?  Plus, we all have said it but are we there yet? This thing called the new normal.  I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Teaching your mind to take a break has gotten more difficult the older we get. It's not that we're rushing to get every activity in but more along the lines of who has the time to rest?
