My Inspired Life
The Blog Backstory
Losing her father on Valentine’s Day in 2019 set Michele Lee on a path of personal discovery which included leaving high school teaching and allowing for creative inspiration to flow through her soul. She launched her blog, My Inspired Life, and published her first post in August of the same year — the first “public” step of her creative journey; she has since published posts on a variety of topics, including the natural world, love, loss, art, dancing, yoga, reading, music, writing, teaching, parenting, writing, and publishing. Michele’s themes of self-discovery, body image, empowerment, strong women, meditation, motivation, and dreams interplay with sprinkles of life’s playful and funny moments. Along the way, Michele’s blog has enriched her life in many ways, including having a place to highlight and connect with other creatives.
“My transformative journey, shared through poems, poetic prose, flash fiction, essays, photography and more, has revealed many discoveries about the world and myself — a sensitive and spirited woman who believes in the power of dreams, that nature’s beauty is the ultimate truth, that laughter is music for the soul, that creativity is humanity’s gift, and that my best days are yet to be experienced.”
Wrapped in Wishes
Keepers of the night called her
into their fable
writing her a starring role,
seeing her rare soul.
Her mornings once dark
now bright with courage and hope
lit by a soft spark.
Rusty storytellers
Wonder when the last letter was sent
from this rusty relic
strangely left in an overgrown desert
Truth before thriving
Fly toward freedom
Fly with truth
truth clears dust
truth has wings
wings expand possibilities
wings brush heaven
heaven is with you
heaven is within
within seeks peace
