Meeting Mr. Jack (Jack Daniel’s Distillery Tour)

Hey Everyone! How are you doin’? Well, when you “witness history” and “taste the best” – the experience is worth flaunting about! Yes, it’s time for some travelling updates and stories of my voyaging!

One of the most favorite travel destinations in the south-central Tennessee is the Jack Daniel’s distillery, situated in the small town of Lynchburg. It is a 4 hr 11 min drive (236.2 mi) via I-40 from Memphis, Tennessee. (Excellent week-end get-away!) The drive is refreshing, through the green pastures with an uninterrupted view of the barns, alluring old-fashioned farm-houses, horses and cows, corn fields and occasionally deer! (Depending on which season you chose for travelling.)

Finding My Voice

Overlooking my presence, 
Neglecting my existence,
You bask in the glory of fake pretense.

Breaking my pride in lieu of your vanity,
Counterfeit conceitedness you present.

Screaming my lungs out, 
I plead for some significance,
But these deafening words you fail to comprehend.

Muting my every desire to be heard,
You break, you breach my self defense.

When conversations turned numb, 
My words became poetry,
In composition, my solace did I seek.

My desires take shape of varied syllables,
Writing my heart out, in verses I show my true fabric!

Savage Rapture – In Other Words

Swirling and twirling to the
rhythm of your savage rapture,

Painstakingly "dancing" my heart out,

I attempt to sway this distress away.

Loving you is like
an eternal psychedelic experience,

Forever in your afterglow I parch!

Hansel and Gretel – Three Line Tales

"Hurry up Gretel! You know we aren't supposed to be outside!" 
muttered fearful Hansel;  
alarmed by his sister's sudden recklessness.

Realizing that all his previous warnings were too sloppy 
in front of the evident danger that lied ahead, 
he once again exclaimed; this time with painful tears in his eyes, 
"I'm telling you, this won't end good sissy.. She'll eat us alive..!"

Oblivious to the obvious crisis, 
callously jumping off the water-side pebbles, 
Gretel playfully giggled and said, 
"Not this time Hans.. I'm sure, I've locked the oven lid tightly! 
The witch is gonna burn!"

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all had a wonderful weekend!

It’s time to kill the “Monday Blues” with some Real Talk and POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS!

Well my people, it is a known fact that our happiness is determined by our attitude and our perspective towards life. Buddha said it best – “What you think you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine you create.”
Yes!!!! The key to abiding happiness lies within us – in our words, our thoughts and our point of view – and “positive affirmations” offers an ideal way of choosing to use your words positively, to create “CHANGE” in your life. Plus, with so much “mayhem” around us, who minds a little motivation and positive self talk?

Here are five of my favorite “uplifting” quotes with a “dash” of positive affirmation to help you invite more joy, peace, happiness and love into your life –

Petty Disguise

iScriblr_poem_sadness

I have wandered through sadness, 
lost hope and failed,
Allied with despair and befriended hate.

With dark clouds, 
gloomy skies and hopelessness to my release,
I have cried a million tears of disbelief.

Walking habitually through the boulevards of broken dreams,
I have been mislaid, 
my faith did dim.

Shambled, broken and incurably dejected,
Full of remorse, 
my life has always been misguided and defeated.

My existence has been cruel, 
I have paid the price,
The smile that you see today is just another petty disguise!
