30 Seconds

written by: Vickie Mryczko

@vickiemryczko

Throughout the day, Stop.
Stop, for just 30 seconds.
In your mind, Stop.
Take a conscious breath and Stop.
While you are eating, using the bathroom, driving or waiting in line...
Stop.
Feel your heart beat... enjoy the air entering your lungs.
Stop. Acknowledge and smile, you are alive and well able.
Stop. Push out the negative thoughts.
You are doing something...anything.
Stop. Praise yourself; for you have not given up. The enemies of your mind will not prevail.
Stop. You are not alone; I stand besides you always.
Stop. Make a simple choice.
Stop. Because you can...

I am a single mom, who has been through some stuff. I have always enjoyed writing. There is no greater joy than being able to share my words, written or spoken. My hope is to be able to inspire healing, confidence and self motivation.

Spotlight On Writers - Julia R. DeStefano

Julia R. DeStefano is a Red Queen who wears many hats but one crown. A confessional poet, she captures moments and preserves them in the glistening amber of language. She also believes in the penning of Paradise into existence through powerful verse. Julia is a woman driven by love and healed by intimacy who uses imagery to paint vivid pictures of darkness and sensuality. Julia believes that the most challenging things in life are those that ultimately end up being the most worth it; that to be loved well is to have won at life; and that the heart will never, ever lead the head astray. Look for Julia atop her throne of books.
