Chinese Jump Rope
When I was little my mother took me to the Pacific Ocean. She took me a week after birth. That is what my father told me. He said she sang to me about the waves. My first memory of us in the ocean is when I am around four or five. She is holding my hand and we are walking right into a wave. We go under and she’s smiling as bubbles go up. We come up for air and she carries me inside this cave where all these glowing things are under the water. She tells me they are lanterns for the mermaids and mermen. That we came from the ocean and if I look closely, I will see a mermaid.

I Deserve Me
I've spent my life showing up. Showing up for school. Showing up for track meets. Showing up for jobs I hated. Showing up for jobs I didn't hate as much. Showing up for meetings and greetings, weddings and funerals. Showing up for friends who needed me. Showing up for my kids. Showing up for my spouse. Showing up for my elderly parents. Showing up for strangers in need of a helping hand. I'm that girl, the one who you know will show up even when no one else will.
