Welcome to The Grind at Wordsofarte.org

I am an author and student of words.  I have written, read, and interpreted words for as long as I can remember.  I was the kid who was often told I talked too much, wrote in profound verse, and read books beyond my age.  I learned that I could interpret it in writing if I could not speak it.  Words are powerful, especially the ones we internalize and talk to our body and mind.  I am not afraid to shed light on issues that can potentially improve, raise a thought,  or convey a sentiment to the reader. I consider myself an artist of words; the canvas is the paper, and my inspiration is every experience I get to live, see, and breathe.  Words can hurt, but they can also heal; they are potent emotions expressed through the art of writing.

My art is geared towards developing thought within the reader.  Freedom of Speech and Expression.  I aim to make you think beyond the cages of imposed labels, belief systems, culture, religion, or societal expectations.  My challenge to you is also to spark a thought that may open your mind to a different perspective.  My wish for my readers is for them to independently interpret my work, develop an idea, and acquire a different perspective while honoring their culture, religion, sexual preference, dichotomy, and family dynamics.

I aim to motivate and inspire others to live life to the fullest while providing a space to read and experience life without restrictions. The magic of overcoming internal or external obstacles with a positive perspective exists within our personal dialogue. The present moment is all we are given, and we choose how we walk on that journey.  Life brings pain, sorrow, joy, sadness, grief, love, confusion, stress, darkness, light, and happiness. We transcend and shapeshift while existing on this earth.  We are ultimately the authors of our lives if we hold the pen that writes our present verse and future story.  Life begins every day we wake up, and we get to live the human experience, ready or not.

Life is a gift, a word, and you can create your own story.
