"Ode to Donna's Nose," Steffany Overby



A short poem written on the spot in response to...

Stank director was offended by your nose probably because it was bigger than his penis and your talent was more than he could handle...so to make you hand-able...he insulted you, like insecure men do, so that they can feel in control

I am sorry that his words cut deep and have haunted you all these years
But his fears of women being able to smell and call out his bullshit
Was just amplified by your fighting spirit and refusal to quit
So....he cowardly called out the one thing he can see that might be a source of insecurity...YOUR Nose.

Because anyone that has seen pics of you back then and now KNOWS: you are one hot woman with a banging body to boot
I pray you are able to mute his voice and hear your own
You have grown into a beautiful woman that has overcome more than he could ever bear

And if your nose is still a source of concern, I hope you learn...
It is a distinguishing feature and nothing to be ashamed of...all the more to love.

The DNA that resulted in your nose Knows more history and triumph than anything he could have wished to direct.
Do not let him continue to project his personal issue on you
Breathe in. Hold. Exhale.

Release that beast that has tried to ride your back all these years and taunted you each time you looked in the mirror.
Breathe in. Hold. Exhale.

Your reflection of your true beauty is becoming clearer.
You are more than just your looks, more than just your age.
There is a Goddess in you, too.
Embrace her in all that you do.

Dust your feet off and carry on into the future...ride off into the sunset and onto your next adventure.
You have so much more life to live...you have so much love to give.
Your nose does not define you, but it is a defining feature.
Love it and breathe those deep breaths of all of the smells you can encounter.

Savor each scent and be present and ground yourself in the moment.
And promise to never again let anyone look down their nose on you.

I love you, Steff 💚🐎🧡💫🍂

Thanks, love,
I will treasure this always...
<3, Donna

La Jeune Prof


Elle est prête,
Sa noble raison d’être
De réparer « les brisés » - 
Éternellement 
Et infiniment
C’est à son tour de
Prendre sa place
Pour jouer son rôle :
Le Destin attend.

Presque depuis le début
Elle commence se casser
Peu à peu,
Se rendant compte
Rien ne changera.
Alors elle lutte pour survivre
L'hypocrisie de soi-même
Plein de mots inspirants,
D’idées puissantes,
Et de promesses vides.

Les Deux Copines"

"Good friends are like stars; 
you don't always see them, 
but you know they're always there."




"Vous êtes digne d'être choisi, combattu et aimé.
Souvenez-vous de ça,"

On what would have been our 28th...

"Would you know my name?
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same?
If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand?
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand?
If I saw you in heaven

I'll find my way
Through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the door
There's peace, I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name?
If I saw you in heaven
Would you be the same?
If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.... "

"Tears in Heaven,"
Eric Clapton



 

My darling George,
Loved you then;
Love you now;
Will love you always...'
My husband, partner, friend, lover-
Soulmate
Forever in my heart
You will always be...
💝
