Moonlight Musings: Enchanted, I climb your poets' beams...

The Moon as my Muse

Only the Moon

Moon—my white mother wound,

your ancient light bleeds

through my bedroom.

About Me

Happy to make your acquaintance! You can call me Stacy. To the outside world, I'm a psychologist and scholar, but my inner world is riddled of literary quotes, collage art and verse. I've earned 5 degrees in Counseling, Psychology and English Lit. Recently I opted to retire from all things psychology-related. My focus now is on family, home-schooling my daughter, personal exploration, and creating art / writing poetry. I am taking my writing hobby seriously, several novella's are in the works as well as poetry collections. I have also created a profile on Fine Art America so others may collect and enjoy my original artwork as prints or on various merchandise. I have traded the stress of a 9-5 workday for a life filled with calm, inspiration and creative reflection as well as plenty of quality time with family. I created this blog as a space to record the things I love in my personal downtime. I adore the arts, tarot, poetry, books, and life! I enjoy walks in the dark, moon bathing, collage art, and dreaming. I practice yoga, read my runes, write in my journal, surround myself with candles and chant the verses of Plath (not really the last part, but it does sound romantic, eh?) I love creating art with Photoshop Elements. I have been working with Paintshop Pro and Photoshop Elements since 2009. I adore creating original photo manipulation, I feel each artwork is a world all it's own. Art has served a therapeutic form of expression for me over the years. Just recently I began to play in AI prompts and artwork, I enjoy watching my words come to life in the form of images. I have been writing poetry since the tender age of 14. My earliest poetic influences were Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath...I adored one for her simplicity, the other for her dramatics. I also adore Anne Sexton and the lyrical poetry of Ani DiFranco...these (and other great women poets) have served as fine instructors for me over the years. I hope I at least do them some justice. I put all my daily practice writings (by me) here....enjoy reading! Be gentle though, I bruise easily.
