How many faces
Fit inside a heart’s womb?
Do they have names—
Have they ever been known?
How many days
Pass without being shown
Stretched and grayed over—
Little girl fully grown
Suppressed, locked away
Time ticks by unknown
Cause, delivery depends
On the love that we’re shown.

Twelve years ago, my life was heading in a very different direction. I was directing a dance and gymnastics program that I built from the ground up which I was highly passionate about. Had my daughter not been diagnosed with autism, I would likely still be pursuing this career today. Because she was diagnosed with autism, my life has been forever changed. Along my parenting autism journey, I was gifted with what I came to understand as a spiritual awakening. It wasn’t something I went looking for, rather something that happened, and as a result, has endowed me with a wealth of knowledge and insights that I feel inspired to share with others.

I’m fine, why? Btw, I wanted to let you know that I’m very sorry for your loss. Not easy to learn these hard truths through loss! Hugs!

Thanks for the condolences.
I asked because for some reason I am getting a sense that you’re sad? Or maybe going through something?

When we learn and practice self-Love that is when our little girl emerges allowing her many faces to be seen. Beautiful poem, Phoenix. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks, Amy. I wrote this poem a long time ago and upon reading it recently, I saw it seemed to reflect self-love and maybe more and so I changed the title.
