I Wanted to Post Some of My Artwork and This is My Absolute Best Sketch So Far

It is not perfect so I will be redoing it better but it is still by far my best sketch! 

I Love It When...

I post something on my FB Page and it triggers a song in my mind and friends are reminded of the same song! 


The sun is shining nicely in the sky with a gentle breeze to keep us perfectly comfortable!


I find just the right wardrobe and accessories to make me feel totally sexy!


I get a find good discount prices on things!


I feel confident in my own decisions!


I am comfortable in my own skin!


When I connect with music that makes me happy!


When people seem to understand me!


When I see wee ones playing on the playground!


When I get to talk with those I care about! 




I don't get to have all of those everyday, but I enjoy which ever ones occur on any given day and look forward to the others happening when they chose to happen! What things fill you with joy?

Make Yourself at Home!

Growing up, I was always made fun of and felt different. Some of it was because, I was born with some mild defects. But I am not sure that was all of it. I remember wearing black allot as a teen, but at that time that was just considered weird. Now it is much more normal and accepted.

Even as an adult, I have felt like a misfit...until recently. Within a short time, I have found many people who have similar experiences, views, to mine (as well as some who may not have the exact same views but respect my right to have them and accept me for who I am). I find myself for the first time in ages being really happy and "feeling at home in my own skin" 

This is such a new feeling for me that I find myself fearing that it is just an illusion, that will be dashed but somehow I have begun to trust my first instinct enough to believe that it won't be and that there are people who are out there that understand my thoughts and feelings as brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters. When we share such with others we become "Family". Maybe not related by birth but related through blood, sweat, & tears.

It is hard to quantify this concept and maybe some of our families of origin would feel hurt or offended by such a concept. However, those of you who have found such Family in your lives will understand and, I am sure, will be grateful for the Families you have built with those who have come to mean the world to you! I know I am grateful for each and everyone of mine and my world is incomplete when I lose even one of those I hold dear for the bonds of friendship, love, and family transcend all time and space.

Never Been... By Yvonne (Yve) Hockenbury Moore March 25, 2011

(Style: Screamo Metal)

Going through Life labeled a SPED,

Not the kind of girl who would turn a guy's head.

So many nights I cried and I  bled.

Was so full of sorrow wishing I were dead.

Never been a strong girl

Never been a pretty girl

Never been an object of desire

Never kindled passion's fire.

Never been a strong girl

Never been a pretty girl

Told I wasn't good enough,

For anyone to truly love.

(2X)

"You know you're so useless!" I'd been told.

"You're much  more worthless than a chunk of Fool's Gold!"

Felt so empty, alone, and so cold,

From buying into every lie I was told.

Never been a strong girl

Never been a pretty girl

Never been an object of desire

Never kindled passion's fire.

Never been a strong girl

Never been a pretty girl

Told I wasn't good enough,

For anyone to truly love.

(2X)

I wondered if, anyone knew,

the depths of the pain they were putting me through!

Could anyone ever, make things new?

Could there be another who'd been hurting too?

Could I be a strong girl?

Could I be a pretty girl?

Could I be an object of desire?

Could I kindle passion's fire?

Could I be a strong girl?

Could I be a pretty girl?

Could I be worthwhile enough,

For anyone to truly love?

(3X)

God of Passion's Fire

By Yvonne Hockenbury Moore

Maybe I lack sophistication, 
But you captured my imagination!
Depths of your eyes penetrating my soul,
Starting a fire that burns out of control!
Dreaming of your hair caressing my skin,
If I scream “Oh God!”--Would that be a sin?

Sometimes I'm afraid, just wanting to hide!
Sometimes I wonder, what you feel inside!
How can you make me, feel the things you do?
Could I ever do, the same thing to you?
Upon your alter, I kindle a fire,
And surrender my pride--for your desire!


Dare I to tell you, you got in my head?
Thinking about, you as I lie in bed!
Dreaming about, each possibility!
With your gaze upon me, what would you see?
Wishing I were lying in your embrace,
A holy communion--an act of grace!

Perhaps you will see this, and think me weak!
I wish I had magical words to speak!
Oh how I long, to gaze upon your face!
Caught up in the moment--no time or space!
Love, with your passion, would you baptize me?
We plus the Universe--A Trinity!

A Public Blogging!!!

Welcome too my My First Public Blogging!
I have never really done a public blog before so I guess I am a blogging virgin! This is really cool and I would not have tried it if not for links from someone's Facebook page to their Blog!

It is a new and learning experience, but maybe now I have a place to share some thoughts for anyone who might actually WANT to read them! I will include some of my poetry and lyrics as well as other things that mean something to me.

I hope you will find your journey with me interesting and will check back often! :-)
