Even though I was a mother myself, all of the Mother's Day commercials with scenes of children hugging and delivering gifts and flowers to their mothers trickled into my joy like Chinese water torture.

I Surrender – Original Poetry by Toni Love
just as my weary eyelids begin to close they reflect scenes of you and I struggling through our first fight
The Balancing Act: You can have it all, just not all at once.
I remember the day I started writing again. I was a full-time stay at home mom and business owner, six years into my marriage, lobbying with my son's school to get his IQ tested and nursing an infant. I wasn't getting much sleep at night and had to find time to juggle clients, housework and bills, babies and PTA meetings during the day. Needless to say my house never looked like spotless ones in the Parenting magazines!

Original Poetry 1/13/15
Undercover Lover If you were not there When empty souls glanced at me from a distance False eyes pierced at my heart And rainbows failed to caress me Then tell me my tainted love Why are you here now 1/13/15 Toni Love Thanks for visiting! Love, Toni
Happy Four Year Anniversary of my blog! :)
I started this blog so that I could have a place to recover my passion for writing. I am so grateful for all of my subscribers and those who continue to comment and encourage me to write because it has been a safe haven for my emotions and a place to share my journey. I hope that my honesty will help others to reinvent, recover and/or recreate themselves.
Come out and support me at The Collective, August 15th!
The Collective Open Mic is a warm, encouraging, non-judgmental family of poets, writers and artists and I am so thrilled to be asked to warm up the mic for the featured poets on Friday, August 15th at La Rose Jazz Club. I hope you can come out to support me and support the arts!
I Want To Get Off – Original poetry
So I beg you to stop playing with my heart To unwrap yourself from my torso and release me Let me walk away with my dignity, without feeling ashamed about what I let you do to me.
