Heart’s Desire

Tina Stewart Brakebill

When all fear is lost

And your passion reigns as queen

The desired heart wins

Author’s Photo

This little piece was inspired by the fabulous photo provided by The Haunted Wordsmith

It made me think: What was she thinking as she looked over her shoulder? Was she considering what her life could be or could have been IF only she had been (or still was) brave enough to make a change?

And that idea connected with notions of winning and losing, courtesy of Ronovan Writes

Thanks to both. Check out their pages. Good stuff!!

An “Old-Fashioned” Wedding or Becoming Mrs. Right

truthfully she pledged

to “love honor and obey”

Thanks to FOWC and Ronovan Writes for the prompts.

And for the record, this is not a reflection on my marriage, which is alive and happy,  maybe because we never promised to “obey.”  😉

My First Crush

Tina Stewart Brakebill

to discover words

opens your mind to wonder

and your heart to love

autumn-018-2

Thanks to The Haunted Wordsmith and Sue Vincent for the great photo prompts. In the midst of the chaos of … well everything, both of these picture reminded me of the sweet calm of my “happy place”–reading. Books really were my first love. The library (and all the wonderful librarians I have known in my life) will always hold a special place in my heart and mind.
