Stephanie Michelle Poem
Watch the multi-tasking drivers talking on the phone.
This is a story of our daily life-style that we overlook and condone.
Recognize the familiar a.m. and p.m. rush-hour cast?
Could this be you in traffic on the 405 Fwy? Or Sepulveda Pass?
We’re a self-selected group of L.A people here,
Chasing “The American Dream” with Gucci, anxiety and fear.
Caught up and concerned with the invincible fountain of youth,
We end up adding on years to what is already the truth.
Sleep deprived while under or over exercised,
Cortisol levels are on the rise.
Cares and worries conquer your thoughts.
Moments of anxiety like these, definitely come easy no matter what you were taught.
The only person who makes the rules is you to measure.
Value the now and don’t succumb to the daily grind and pressures.
It’s a good time for meditation, yoga, or tai-chi
So stop texting, get off your blackberry, leave alone the cell
Open your heart, spirit, and TRUTH to “Living Well”.
From Bad Hair Days to Burnout HAIR
Is the teachings of the HAIRESS and her Tresses.
One attains their dharma path to de-stress from 21st century distress.

Stephanie Michelle Poem
“Progress Being”
The opportunity struck that I grew to find,
I took a risk and felt no urge to change my mind.
In the “now” to live my life without regrets
The game of life’s chance called roulette.
I don't think that I would be where I am today
If I didn’t live out yesterday!
What you see, is what you get
I’m the human in “progress being,” see who you met.
Aware of owning what I lead.
Aware of the strength that is rising through my feet.
Of choices I've made,
Of the ‘yin’ that I've saved.
Of the things that I've done,
My belief in myself, in another-you, and the One.
Forgiving of the words of my friends,
I know who they are to make mistakes, and make amends.
Follow my instincts, follow my inner star
It is the unedited version and real true radar.
On my sleeve I have worn to show my heart untamed
I am whole in the “real life” of moments and unashamed.
Double “A” free in actions. “Berkley,” free in mind, body, and spirit.
What comes next the guitar or good night dreams to visit?
The down beat is the inner drum,
Like the dark that feels the enigmatic rhythm.
Does not understand impact.
Does not like to get exact.
Understands the subtle feel.
Like authentic wine, whispered “sealed.”
As I wrote before, the timing in life is always NOW.
Perhaps that would be a philosophy as you know all to well in Tao.
Carpe diem another platitude or cliché’
It’s a waste of time to be high-browed as they say…... My focus is to be light and live
with a LEAP of Faith.
To share the positive things that we learned from our past
Takes time of building a rapport with another hopefully steadfast.
Getting to know someone to laugh with is a find.
Because what is learned and applied will not fall into the traps laid on NEW created paths
from behind.
Adding up my life, will total all my dreams.
I am counting all my blessings
And gifts like you that I receive
No matter what the expectation or what the other perceives.
I own my day and my thoughts,
Gentle not to challenge them to be fought. ?
Took this time to understand the perfect-imperfect
And the crinkled-pleat…
That I am what I am, who I am no defeat.
No sleep walking, hair untamed
“Progress being” is what is named.

Stephanie Michelle Poem
This is to reach others with an open mind, spirit, and heart,
We all need that push every now and then to get a fresh start.
Sometimes through life we do too much thinking here,
Some of those questions about, “what ifs” provoke our fears.
At one time or another we all have those questions,
Some of us go through life sleep walking until we are awakened with self-reflection.
Your Taowel is the path of still thoughts compiled.
This was created to help you feel at ease with your “inner smile”,
No need to put on the breaks.
There are no mistakes.
TODAY is the day to express whatever more,
Begin to challenge your inner core.
Know that your spirit is your integrity
It’s important to keep in mind for the power of authenticity.
Many people grow older, but how many wiser?
Rightfully so, we have to move forward and become “re-definers.”
We all have gifts and history to share,
It’s trying to let go of the “plan” or the past that we use to compare.
In exchange MY “inner-smile” from the higher brings to you these words of wisdom
It will hopefully teach you to build on your own innate rhythm.
We are blessed in life with many words orchestrated called an “experience.”
Getting to know your OWN TRUTH will be held in reverence.
