“When reminded about the premortal shouting for joy,
in some moments, we wonder what all the shouting was about.”
-Neal A. Maxwell
…
Don’t eat the fruit
Ignore the damn snake
The joys you experience
Won’t outweigh the pain
…
Keep yourself safe
Avoid bitter cups
Maybe it’s worth the
Things you’ll give up
…
You can’t stop the train
So don’t even board
You don’t have a clue of the
Wreckage in store
..
Sure thought I could handle it, thought I was strong
But lately it seems I could not be more wrong.

Ball’s In Their Court (a poem)
I like when clients don’t respond
I get a little break
That thing I’ve been avoiding
(Now I’ve) Got a few more days
…
I like when they apologize
“So sorry for delays!”
I reassure them all is fine
Emoji smiley face
…
When the ball is in their court,
I like when they don’t play
If somebody’s been slacking
(It’s not) Me who’s off my game
…
I don’t mind when they ghost me
When it comes to pay
If money’s there in escrow
I get it either way
🙂

Only So Much Heaviness (a poem)
There’s only so much heaviness the human heart can take
The bricks of burden start to stack, your back will surely break
The sorrow starts to seep in, soon you’re swimming in the shame
The doubt, the darkness, and the death can speak dread to your name
I’ve grant it to the garden, give Gethsemane my grief
Resilience, rest my heart, relax, and feel some sweet relief
There’s only so much heaviness the human heart can take.
I’m at my max capacity, so God, take it away!

Why I Don’t Outsource (A Poem)
It’s so hard to hire
It’s too tough to trust
Somebody else to do
Some of my stuff
I’m sure there’s more money
More dough I could make
But what if the person I
Pay’s a mistake?
Perfection’s my best and my
Worst tendency
There’s nobody else who can
Do it like me
It’s probably pride
Very well could be
For now, I’ll stay solo
My own agency
Down the road maybe
For now I’ll say no
Content to remain as a
One-woman show

Blueprint, Budget, Timeline (a poem)
“Which of you, intending to build a tower,
sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost,
whether he have sufficient to finish?”
-Jesus (Luke 14:28)
…
Blueprint, budget, timeline
The three most crucial parts
Pay painstaking attention
Before you ever start
What’s the plan for building?
What’s the final cost?
What’s the schedule look like?
Not one detail gets long lost
Break down the analysis
The plan, the time, the price
And then when you’re all through with that
Look it over twice
Blueprint, budget, timeline
Don’t leave out even one
Execute with wisdom
Until the job is done
