What Now
What happens, once we move out of our comfort zone, our daily routine has somehow, been upheaved, the seams of our life, are unraveling before, our very eyes, and we could do nothing to assist with the cease flow, therefore, this is the time, I will leave you with some lasting thoughts, pushing you softy in the right direction, the past is where it belongs, now you have to bask in the freedom of its beautiful changing tides, a sense you were part of a family, a true poetic family, whereas, yes, we have shared the goodness, in your celebration, comforted you in your tears, called each other bitches (Beauty In Total Control Honey) in times of poetic war, but the house never fell, we are, the Deep that the handsome Jacks and sexy Jacqueline’s have built, our underground sanctuary when the world was cruel, and unforgiving.
We have all embraced each other's minds, countless times to name, in honor of sitting at a computer, leading us your eyes, your heart, your fears, your obsessions, your laugher, rather it was given, in competitions, open Forums, your spoken word pieces where your voice gave raise to your passion, we heard your concerns, we all have seen each other’s accomplishments from your craft, your expressive works of arts.
What now, once the curtains go down for that final curtain call, and empty stage remains behind, your poetic stanzas a beautiful memory to have echoed in serenity.
Gentlemen, you are robust you will always land on your feet, but us ladies, we are more emotional.
This is the now time about continuing your progress, remembering those surviving life lessons, and still making them soar for you.
How, With What, and Where To I Even Begin
Whatever you do going forward, make sure, you find an acceptable platform. I do believe, Poetess Fia, and Poet SamNash, who, I can only assume are working tirelessly in assisting DUP members who would like an interchange, whereas, their voice can shine and endure to thrive, another poetic venue to give rise to your unheard words, breath life back onto its dwindling embers.
I am sure, by utilizing their time and committing to bring those resources to you, yet, giving credence to the vision(s) of their collaborative rebirthing efforts, may you both find success to continue on your pilgrimage.
Now I am more concerned about the mental challenges. I am sure some of you seasoned writers, who have adopted the mindset, I will be alright, will you? When you can no longer get up upon your Grand Rising, and log into your DUP profile, and share your daily mantras, read everyone else’s words, rather to give you inspiration, or to pass the time away reading someone’s great literature, this absence will take some minor mental adjustments.
My heart becomes dense for the poetesses/poets who relied on DUP for their coping mechanism skills, always remember words carry power, they can uplift, and they can hurt you, or hinder you.
Be more mindful as you find a new poetic home.
Whatever you do, stay focused, find or reinvent yourself, the mind will take a quiet setback, to refresh, but the intellect never ceases to think, this is the time you must evoke those brain’s neurotransmitters to became fully functionally once again to see you reach your glory in all facets of life.
Once a writer, will always be a writer, and I know how it is to be the recipient of untapped mental illusions, which goes unnoticed, this is the point in time, whereas, hopefully, you all have an alternate solution not to allow your beautiful incantations never to be heard from you again.
Let’s see if we can explore some option to keep your intellect, the passion to write, thriving.
Practice Self-Compassion- Be kind to yourself. Understand that it’s okay to feel a range of emotions, from anger to sadness, to confusion, after 05-12-25, this will be the ending of and awesome era, you have shared your most sacred energy with a mass group of interesting individuals, accept in earnest, your words will live on.
Focus on Small Achievements- Break challenges into manageable steps, continue to write each day, you can always, invest in marketing your works through the Kindle format, just try that format, say with one poem, after a celebration of small achievements, before you know it, you will be looking to garnish more audiences by conditioning your intellect to promote yourself more, that empowering should propel you to publish.
Seek Professional Help- If it is warranted, and you have misdirected energy, silent anger, but nowhere to fester the eternal rage, turmoil, pent-up anger, or relentlessness, then I would suggest speaking to a therapist or counselor can provide guidance and a safe space to process your thoughts and feelings, me mindful to know, you were part of a social site network, a place where you and your mind become as one.
Keep A Daily Journal -Writing down your thoughts can help untangle such complex emotions you may or may not be experiencing and offer some form of clarity, doing these coping skills can also serve as a way to keep track of your mental grievances and can be used as a tool for you to continue on, life is what YOU make of it.
Mindfulness And Elevating Those Seven Chakras Of Meditation- Deep breathing using a rhythmic inhale, exhaled, pattern of relaxation, or yoga can help ground you in the present moment and it reduces anxiety tremendously, in that purpose, making sure your temple is cleansed of any negative thoughts, only positivity draws the ‘Om’ s spirituality to the temple.
Creative Expression- Channeling your feelings into art, music, writing, or other forms of creativity can be both cathartic and empowering.
Website for Posting Your Works of Art (No poetry site will ever be like DUP, I stand on that admission and affirmation, thank you Webmistress, and to the Moderators of past and present.
Lasting as a published author or any writer. It is best you google your poems every so often then to make sure your words are not being plagiarized, copied, or even paraphrased, without your written and signed consent. I strongly advise you to do that, I perform that configuration monthly.
If you go to any new poetic website, make sure you copyright each poem, article, or spoken word piece you post.
Here is a link to various poetry sites, and make sure you research prior to joining.

Rest easy during these times of reflection, make sure you stay focused, ands mile throughout this creative process.
Until our minds blend in this cosmos we call life, take care of yourself and be mindful of others. always,

I had to share this; my entire running team and I laughed. I shared this because once you watch my live streaming video on my marathon day, you will hear me ask, is this a new course. 1.5K is not even a mile... I did not even sweat, my run was over before it begin... oh, my goodness, I am still laughing in glee.
Everyone I booked hotel rooms, made sure my running crew got on the plane from JKF Airport (New York) to CVG Airport in (Kentucky), oversee two rental vans of eager marathon runners. We partied in the state of Kentucky, that state is right over that bridge from Cincinnati, the sponsoring city.
My running Co-Captain paid for everyone’s dinner, the next day, my Veteran Runners and I got out of our warm beds, and we had a great 15Krun (Half Marathon), I had to make sure they had safe passage back to the airport returning to New York.
My intermediate runners, who are still in training for the duration of longer marathons.
Starting line… the run was over before I said …what the fuck, excuse me, but I heard far worse at the wrong finish line, a sudden stop at a finish line more deserving for the younger generation, however those brave youngsters ran our 5K course… (3 miles)
I am still laughing; we ran the Kids Course… I crossed the line and into a crowd of non-movers, baffled by the sudden stop and crammed at a finish line. We were given our running medals, my second medal for that day, and also given weather protective gear.
And in passing, I heard a lot of runners uttering in confusion, that’s it, what course was that… I will allow the email to explain the confusion.
🖤
This is the official email I received last week on that Tuesday (03-18-25)
Good evening, Heart Mini 5K Heart Race participants:
We are reaching out to apologize for the incorrect 5K race course length. After review, we found that the start line and entrance ramp to the course were incorrectly set for the 1.5K Kid’s Race. This is the race that was supposed to take off at 10:30am but was pushed back when we had to delay the entire timeline of events and permits due to severe weather earlier this morning and our safety contingency plan as an organization and in conjunction with city officials.
It is not our intention to share an excuse, but we feel you are owed a reason for how this occurred. Again, we sincerely apologize and ask for your grace, since all changes to timeline were made with safety in mind.
We are offering all 5K race participants free registration for Heart Mini ’26 if you’d like to join us next year for the 5K Heart Race on the correct course.
We are a mission-first organization this is a fundraising event for the number one killer of all Americans. We have held the Heart Mini for 48 years running now, to fund our mission and promote physical health and wellbeing. We appreciate your support more than you’ll ever know – together we are building a nation of lifesavers!
Thank you again - in collaboration,
Your Heart Mini,
Event Logistics and
City Events Teams

The Aftercare
After running for thirteen miles, I think a day of pampering has done me well.
I will be running along the beaches to greet the Grand Rising skies very soon, and if it is Allah’s will. May my spirit bless the flow of water.
Now I must ask you, what have you done for yourself lately. In addition, unsavory remarks for me is when you know you are heading in the right spiritual direction, and my motto, no weapons formed against me shall prosper, and we all know the face in the mirror is the one who it reflects, in my Book Of Life, either you love or hate either way, your cross to bear, certainly, not mine, hum, but doesn’t it take too much unnecessary dark will power, displayed bitterness, wow, my grann always said, a dead minded individual speaks an ill reputed heart, and let’s keep the dead minds in graves where they belong.
In the light of truth, you must find ways to elevate your mind in your own Garden of Paradise, the mind, the heart, and the spirit of the temple is to honor self first; the power within should always radiate outwards, if the soul is found to be of good grace.
If you cannot have Compassion for anyone, if you cannot Uplift anyone, or at least have assisted someone on their journey to bettering their life or their situation, then what is your true Purpose, we are placed in this realm we call life for missions, achievements, rather you are the person assisting, or the person who is needing, your Cup must be balanced.
Those universal sentiments should be each and everyone’s mantra the source of your breathing.
I cannot stress the importance of voicing your matters into your own horn, you are the navigator of your own destiny, aid in the goodness of faith to reach your destiny.
There will always, be low vibration energy, however, I know Yeshua’s cross was more than mine to bear, and live in those Psalms, of truth, of justice, and practicing the Golden Rule of Life, those are the vows that shape my character, define who I am, when you are as the gemstone for which you are, and the savior of your own soul, you tend to not allow your spiritual foundation to be shaken or stirred, if it’s constructed upon unmovable mountains.
The insecurities of the mind, as you notice, are detrimental.
As a woman, I cannot fathom what goes on in your household, I can only assist the multitude with the mental incapacity of the two brain hemispheres, anything outside the demographics of that, is mundane, rhetoric, or non-productive wisdom.
I do not judge anyone’s lifestyle, however, under my ancestral teaching, a man(King) love his woman (Queen), and they create the next generation (Children), the family unit.
In these days of uncertainly, we as women, will have to use our Third Eye of Enlightenment, and if you are a parent, a spouse, you are the epitome of what you bring to the humble shelter, and be advised all these political cuts, are leading to an uncertain government, and the dismantling of our democracy.
No, it is not by the African Americans once you took away our Civil rights, no its the Palestine or Israel suffering, it is not even an Illegal Immigration problem, I will have to say it’s the diabolical manipulative upheaval of your government and the gavel is banding strong to take those rights from you, your Constitution.
Look around, I mean really look around then look at yourself, what can you offer when words are just not enough, reality is sitting in front of you, if you cannot help other… just shh…silence and just observe, sometimes you will realize that is the greatest comfort.
Engage your temple in meditation, yoga, to balance those mental outbursts, it is in relevancy when your seven Chakras are not aligned, subsequently, inhale, and slowly exhale, the planting season is underway for me, tune in, I am too blessed too remotely even say that word... what is it, oh stressed, see you made me say it, darn it.
My energy is on a silhouette high(no drugs involved). I will explain that as I finish my Kundalini Awakening piece.
Third Eye of Enlightenment, once you begin to study so many theological and their doctrine, their ideology, you enter the notion, you are as you are, one nation, under God, no matter what region, no matter how much, money, I say that in reference to, once we take out last earthly breath of life, we are expecting our soul to ascend, on to Heaven, if does make you think, if so, then why so many wars over ancient lands, in the name of various deities.
If we all just stand still, and realize we are all trying to find our soul an everlasting spiritual home the world will be encased in peace.
In the upcoming months, intellects will be attuned in a sense of longing, melancholy, the feeling as if the placenta cord to something spectacular which has been taken, no longer brings that mental cognitive awareness, the sentiments of simply belonging to a life that you have conditioned yourself to, whereas, you have allowed to mainstream your thoughts for hours on end.
What are you going to do from here when dreams, your aspirations, have remained in the wind. I know some of you still have that penned poised, you still have bottled up words inside you that time is dwindling.
Where is direction of your footsteps heading, even though, some of you will be interchanging from this embracing site into other poetic venues, hopefully, the one who are not, there are several writing online assignments you can engage, you can Ghost Writer, invest in publishing through Kindle, continue to write, I have gotten my greatest pleasure, outside of publishing my six novels, with several more to come, with the creativity of self-marketing myself.
In addition, you can Freelance, I would say create a website, where you can publish/sell your works of art, or if you know of a venue that has Open Mic Night, make yourself shine with your spoken word pieces.
Whatever you do, do it for yourself, so it may make someone better, someone more happier, or someone wiser.
We all play a part in the tapestry we call surviving in life
I hope the words that I have shared with you rather through my Mental Health/Medical posted journal of thoughts and preventative measures have always help you or yours.
May the soft winds cradle you no matter where your wings may soar.
I took this picture after I got my eyebrows arched before I left out to the airport returning to New York after my marathon run, my remote is slipping, but I got it.
Love and Sincere Hugs, always,
SKC Interim DON, APRN

Aftercare everyone needs that. After they suffer a illness of the heart mind body soul and spirit. Physically and mentally. Yet psychical healing is easier to deal with. Rather then mental healing. Cause by the world and others. Aftercare is hard to find for that
Make Yourself Great Again
We are slowly surpassing nationwide protests. The loud outcries of injustice, which has permeated our streets. By trail of error in the year 2025, we, as citizens are mending rifts of the past, to clear a passage for all great occurrences to manifest.
As we have selected our next Commander in Chief, who will continue to lead this great nation as he sits upon the throne at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. May the appropriate choice be the benediction as we try to resurrect to be the better nation, not to make America functional again, but to fix in American what is considered fractured as I stated that is disparity.
It really is an immoral disgrace, every nation can come together within its own right to make its nation powerful through the eyes of, technology, trading, commerce, nuclear warfare. Whereas, America is still trying to attempt to catch up; when was the last time you actually have worn attire or have utilized an effective product that is manufactured in American, have driven a reliable vehicle from the Ford Plant, when it needs repair, most parts are readily shipped from aboard as far as Thailand. In addition, please be advised I am not disrespecting anyone who operates a Ford model.
It is an offense by law to dwell in several countries and have the mentality I am cleverer than you. Most, and not all other political administration’s ruling is censored not to speak of their displeasure or portray by broadcasting its daily grievances.
Now we have to deal with tariffs, we barely make products in America to jumpstart our own economy.
In America, we all have access to practice, adopt, or exercise our Free Will by Constitutional Amendments, which is to uplift, inspire as it rings with pride, and the fruits of its goal, others attempt to emulate with unity. We, as USA citizens have somehow forgotten those core values in not extending among each other.
Here today, we have so much prejudice, a vile crusade led by the discreet' s uproar of indifference to various skin tones, who voice differences in opinions, and to motivate within their own cultures, and ethnic lineage.
We raise or fist in mockery to a demoralizing system that is the laughingstock of other nation’s principles. Why, because we practice, separatism; our ignorance to rely, lean upon other's mentality out of disrespect and mistrust.
The last time I truly witnessed the blending of this nation was during 2001, the 9/11 fiasco. Lives were lost, tears were sheds, disbelief radiated in the cruelness of one’s acceptance. In those peril times, we all grieved the bearings as a nation, we looked for guidance, however, not just one color, to our Commander in Chief to bring healing upon the nation, but as a whole, we rolled up our sleeves in the cleanup process, we donated blood, no one ever signed a waiver who get the pint(s) of our life-force. We held hands, lower flags in half-staff.
And in our wavering faith during that turmoil, we embraced in each other.
Fast forward times, we all stand bowing our heads in shame, where one, cries for equality and justice for all, fought hard and won. In as much, others, echoes the sentiments of the long-ago harsh sentiments of the past.
People, we cannot go backwards, it only negates the progress and hinder our footsteps to go forward.
It never would come down to what we write about, what we think we know to make others feel inferior, superior.
When those bombs were bursting in air, did it really give truth to the night that our flag was still there. Yet, the principles of what I am seeing here today, in real time, advises me we have more work to do until this land gives this nation the life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all.
This brings me to my next observation as a tax paying citizen, who contributes to the fundamentals of society’s future.
Why is everyone walking the streets in silent anger. Hiding behind computer screens spewing, hate, rage, discrimination, bigotry, and racism. Are we at the cuspid where emotions, feelings have been hurled in the wind? Not caring what the offensive deeds of our words brings, or who we may hurt in the process when we deliver them.
I have witnessed in aghast, citizens voicing their displeasure with sharing their presences of this country, most have forgotten, we are all in this realm we call life. Propaganda rings true, by the hands of loathing, militia groups are surging at an alarming rate, the left-wings are in full force to assign and carry out their pure blood, one pure race philosophy.
Our blinders have been masked into what is the authentic truth. Depopulation, by the elite, assignation by government mandated vaccinations, organ harvesting, manmade viruses, implanted microchips, and an alien invasion protocol tactical emerging, yes, researched under our very noses.
In this country’s darkest hours, may the deity whom you pray to or give homage too, grant you mental peace, and instill serenity within your heart to treat accordantly as you deem to be treated.
Until our souls entwine to embark in embracing the truth, stay safe, stay strong, and please stay vigilant and awoken,
And That’s Straight Talk Live For You
Love and Hugs, always,
SKC Interim DON, APRN
This was an unedited chapter picture
Yes, I am counting the days, when I will be taking pictures in my bikini on the beaches of Floridia, with glass of Moet in hand...
