Sometimes I am angry

October 24, 2026 Sharon Jacobson

F___ this shit.
Sometimes that is what I want to say.
I want to do more than have a cup
with the words wrapped around it.
Sometimes I am angry
at a person or a situation
that has crossed my boundaries, or
violated my values,
Sometimes I am angry
at myself
because I have abandoned my own truth.
But my anger is what led me on a trail
to the vulnerable spaces.
it lead me to the layers of grief
from losing my family,
friends
and those I thought loved me.
Anger led me to the raw places,
the places that needed healing
the places that needed to be seen
and heard.
Sometimes I am angry
because I have to do the work to heal
or the anger will consume me.
Sometimes I have to be angry
because it gives me the courage
to fight back
and fight through
and be transformed.
Sometimes I have to embrace the anger
stare into it
and allow me to be filled with
insight and compassion.
to open the door to
grace and forgiveness.
Sometimes I give thanks for the anger
because it is not that I feel it,
but how I have used it
to become who I am in this moment.

Whiskey Business

October 19, 2026 Sharon Jacobson

Whiskey Business

I am not much of a drinker,
I just finished a bottle of bourbon
I was gifted before COVID.
But whiskey is my go to
when I have had one of those days.
There is nothing risky,
about what whiskey means in my life.
Whiskey
once known as
the water of life.
It has long been known
as a treatment for ailments,
a way to preserve the soul,
and even ward off evil spirits.
Whiskey is like me,
undergoing an ongoing transformation.
Whiskey transforms from a raw grain
to a refined spirit.
Like whiskey,
life has refined me,
the heat and pressure in my life
has distilled me.
Life’s lessons have helped me
leave behind the pollutants
and helping me to become
what brewers call
the angel’s share.
it is the portion which
is absorbed into the universe
without ever being seen.
you may not see my transformation
or the parts of me
which have already transcended,
but I have been distilled
and transformed
and each process enables me to be of service
and honor all with
warmth, abundance and hospitality.
In doing so, I honor all
past and present
who have helped in my own whiskey business.

Outside the Box

February 20, 2026 Sharon Jacobson

Outside the Box

You don’t seem like a Reverend,
one of my students said.
Why? Why do you think that?
Hey, that’s a Socratic question,
he laughed.
The reality is that for me
life is too short
to live within traditional structures.
I seek the freedom of focusing on my relationship
with my Higher Power,
the one I call the Ultimate and who is
greater then any single denomination or school of thought.
My ability to grow and evolve
requires me to spend more time
focusing on my personal relationship
working on my spiritual growth,
spiritual liberation, and
freedom.
Living outside the box has
provided me with freedom
and the space to develop a deeper connection
to the one who has set me free.
spirituality is about
experience over doctrine.
it is about fluidity and evolution,
about inclusivity and
listening to the still small voice
which has guided me outside the box
and led me to the silence
which speaks to and through my heart.

January

January 30, 2026 Sharon Jacobson

January

I look out the window,
the snow continuing to fall,
staring at a blanket of whiteness,
and while I feel the cold
I also see freshness.
There is a sense of newness,
of all that is coming,
or renewal,
of opportunities,
of the universe inviting me
to share with it and others
my intentions,
my resolutions,
all that I seek to transform in my life.
It is the beginning of my journey
and creation of new things,
like the new project at work,
Inspiritual attracting those in need,
my collection of poems being published,
opportunities to be of service to others,
of my health improving,
of my body getting fitter,
of relationships being repaired
of working to raise the vibrational frequency
of this world, or at least my part of it.
It is about parts of me transforming
and parts of me being born.
it is about watching me grow each day,
mentally,
emotionally,
and spiritually.
It is a time for me to sit in the sun
that shines on to the snow
and not want to rush the process,
but be open and welcoming
of all that January has to offer
and bring and how it keeps the dreams alive.

Let Go

September 5, 2025 Sharon Jacobson

Let Go

Have you ever heard
let go and let God?
it got me thinking
about all the things
I have filled my life with
and need to let go of.
If I let go,
then I make room
for so much to be birthed
in the emptiness I create
when I let go and let God.
When I let go,
I get to dance with the Ultimate
with an intimacy I could not,
I get to breathe
with a clarity and healthiness
I could not before I let go.
I let go of stress, anxiety and frustration.
I let in
peace
liberation,
resilience,
and clarity.
I let go of barriers
and birth opportunities.
Letting go
allows you and I to grow and
develop bonds
of trust and love,
with each other.
Letting go,
means
I get to make more room
for the Ultimate
each and every time
I let go.

Let Go

June 3, 2025 Sharon Jacobson

Let Go

I have always been
a just do it gurl.
Growth, however, doesn’t always come
from adding to our spiritual practices.
Growth comes from
letting it go.
Letting go of that
which drains my energy,
is selfish,
is keeping me from being of service,
is filling me with negative energy,
I have to let go
of the rules and boundaries set by others,
of the need to conform,
of that which freezes my body, mind and soul.
It is in letting go
that I get to grow and evolve
to transform,
and to walk in the fullness
and authenticity of who
and how I was created to be.
So I let go of all
that eases the Ultimate out,
making room for letting God in.
Perhaps that is why I have heard
let go, let God.

Trust the Process

January 5, 2025 Sharon Jacobson

Trust the Process

Trust the process,
my Bubby would tell me
during our walks together.
I did not have to like what was happening
or how
or when
or even why,
but I had to trust the process
and know that all that was supposed to be would be.
Trust it Sara Bella, just trust the process.
The process constantly teaches me to be creative
and see what I could not see before.
Life is the ultimate teacher about living.
It is in the process that I get to be creative.
I get to be the artist of my life.
I get to learn new ways of dealing with stress
or disappointment
or things that disturb me.
I get to learn more about myself
and how I move through life
and how I contribute to my own suffering
and my own joy.
Trust the process
and know that the best is yet to come.
Trust that you will learn
what the Ultimate is trying to teach you
and that the process will continue
until you do,
so as my Bubby would say
just trust the process. Trust it.

No Matter What

December 27, 2024 Sharon Jacobson

No Matter What

No matter what,
give thanks.
That is what my Bubby would say.
In good times or challenging times,
no matter what
give thanks.
She taught me to see
every moment in my life
whether of pain or confusion
or joy or clarity
or anything in between
as an opportunity
of growth to grow.
She would always tell me
no matter what
give thanks.
This attitude of gratitude
no matter what
enables me to give thanks
in all circumstances
and to see even the most challenging of times
as gifts.
Even the most challenging of times
is a chance to grow,
a chance to evolve
a chance to use the gifts I have been given
and carry all opportunities
with grace.

"Wow! What a Ride!”

February 24, 2024 Sharon Jacobson

"Wow! What a Ride!”

"Wow! What a Ride!”
those were the words of a desperate southern gentleman
about his life.
Every time I read his words
Hunter Thompson reminds me how I want to live my life.
His words remind me that I want to feel as if I just slid in
to home plate going wahoo.
I am reminded that life is like a roller coaster.
There are those times I am going higher then I am comfortable
and the times I am sliding, sometimes plummeting down
traveling solely in faith.
Faith knowing that one that bought me to the highest of highs
is the one that will bring me through the lowest of lows.
I cannot appreciate the highs without the lows.
It is this constant journey which guarantees me
as Hunter explained,
I will not be “arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body.”
Rather, I will be skidding in “broadside in a cloud of smoke,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming
"Wow! What a Ride!”

My Transformation

September 22, 2023 Sharon Jacobson

My Transformation

I know this may sound crass,
but if I do not ask for your help,
do not help me.
Encourage me,
believe in me,
be present,
but let me blossom and transform
on my own.
I am like a butterfly
in a cocoon at some stages of my journey.
If you try to help a butterfly out
before it is strong enough to break free
on its own,
you can kill it.
What I am going through
may seem challenging and hard
and it probably is,
but I have to go through it
to become strong enough
that I can spread my wings and fly.
We have to let each other
go through and transform
no matter how hard it is to watch.

I don't Know

I Don’t Know

There is nothing wrong with saying,
I don’t know.
There is so much I do not know.
I am not sure there is anything
I know everything about.
It's ok to say
I don’t know.
it gives us permission
to grow,
learn,
evolve and
encourage others to do the same
I don’t know
doesn’t mean I will never know.
It just means I do not know at this moment,
but I will go learn
and then I will share that information with you.
Then WE will know
and we will have grown together
That is one of the best parts of this life,
learning and growing and together going from
I don’t know
to we know.

Spud Lessons

April 7, 2023 Sharon Jacobson

Spud Lessons

I was going through a bag of potatoes
when I heard my father’s voice
asking me if I remembered how to clean them.
I knew better then to say of course,
because I knew he was there to teach me a lesson,
or at least remind me of one.
I remember the day he taught me
how to clean potatoes.
He used to hate cleaning potatoes,
during the Korean war.
One at a time, he would clean them,
whenever he was on kitchen duty,
which seemed quite often.
His coming back to me was to remind me about
community.
I could be like he used to be,
cleaning them one at a time,
or I could put them all in a tub of some type
and create a washing machine kind of movement,
where the potatoes rubbed against each other,
connecting to,
interacting with,
and cleansing each other.
The potatoes were not cleansed one at a time,
they were transformed as a community.
Perhaps we all need to get in the tub together,
connect,
interact,
and help each other
grow, evolve and become more
then we can alone.

Mercy

February 18, 2022 Sharon Jacobson

Mercy

As I look back,
I find myself giving thanks
for the people in my life
who have been like
heat sinking missiles
landing on and exploding
my most sensitive of areas.
Their presence has saved
me time and money in therapy,
as they have drawn my attention
to the areas
in need of the most healing.
I show them mercy
as I know others have shown me
when I have been
the heat sinking missile
in their life.
it is not that I want
these experiences in my life,
but that I need them.
They are the impetus for my growth,
my humility,
my reminder to be merciful
and to receive the mercy of others.

Room for Improvement

May 1, 2020 Sharon Jacobson

No one knows me
the way the Ultimate knows me.
I would like to say
I know myself well,
but I don’t.

The Ultimate creates opportunities
for me to learn about me
in ways I may not always like.
I get to see that which I appreciate
and that which needs improvement.

I have friends who think
they know me, but in all honesty
they only know what they have been
allowed to see or experience.
They only see what I allow them to see,
or experience,
and the person I allow them to
get to know.

However, in my relationship
with the Ultimate I get to say
love me,
mold me,
transform me
and make me better
than I or anyone else
will ever know.

Help me become who
you created me to be.
Help me to become a
reflection of your love,
wisdom,
grace,
mercy,
compassion,
and all
you wish me to be.

I know there will always
b e room for improvement,
but for today I ask you
to help me grow,
and become a better me
then I was yesterday
and that tomorrow
you will bless me in the same manner
always creating
room for improvement
in my life.

Liberation

November 22, 2019 Sharon Jacobson

A Tibetan meditation master once prayed
“All those I fly over,
may they all be liberated.”
It is comforting to know
that at some point,
he prayed for me.

What if we did the same.
What if we prayed for those
to the east of us,
to the west,
to the north, and
to the south of us?

What if we prayed for all in
and on the earth,
that which is in the air,
temporarily or permanently,
that which is in the water
and or fire?
What if we remembered to pray
for the liberation of
all things,
places,
and people?
How much different
would the world be?

Affirmation Time

June 30, 2017 Sharon Jacobson

I have now spent a month reading and thinking about transformation and it seems like there are a few areas I need to continue to work on transforming in my own heart and brain. One is how I define success. There are days that I know I am successful because I am clear I am doing what I am supposed to be doing in and with my life. Then there are those moments when Zoe has to pull my head out of my ass because I feel like a failure.

Those moments seem to come when I start to evaluate my life based on the ideals of others and when I have not been giving myself my daily affirmations. I have to be intentional everyday about affirming myself. I cannot depend on anyone else to give me those affirmations. Being self-affirming has to be intentional and some days I fall back in those old habits of beating myself up instead of building myself up. Sometimes I fall, but then I get back up again and affirm myself for being able to do so.

Try

June 9, 2017 Sharon Jacobson

Thanks for the slap upside the head. I was listening to Mandy Harvey sing on America’s Got Talent. Her story about losing her hearing and how it erased her dream of being a musician. She sang this song called Try. Her lyrics really spoke to me and the changes in my life due to my back and nerve damage. She wrote, “I don't feel the way I used to The sky is grey much more than it is blue But I know one day I'll get through.” When I lost the feeling on my right side I did not feel the way I used to, literally. I did not know how I was going to learn how to do things when I did not know where my foot was and had to learn how to think my leg into moving. There were days that I was grieving the loss of my independence. I grieved not being able to drive anymore. I grieved There were mornings I would be so frustrated and cry because I could not even put my sock or shoe on by myself. On those especially tough days I would tell myself I will get through.

Just when I thought things could not get worse, they eliminated my paratransit services, which made it possible for me to go out, have fun, and hang with friends. That bought about one more loss and one more thing to grieve. There were days that the sky was grey, so I found myself being intentional about doing things in my life to keep myself positive and making my home such an amazing place to be that nobody who came here, including myself, would want to leave. I knew this would either be my prison cell or an ashram, so I opted to transform it into an ashram.

Success

June 3, 2017 Sharon Jacobson

It is funny how sometimes it is a comment from a total stranger that opens up a wound we thought had been healed and provides us an opportunity to take our healing to the next level. I am so grateful for those opportunities which inspire me to continue to grow and evolve.

For the most part I am a fairly positive person and remember to affirm myself on a daily basis. However, sometimes I fall off my Four Agreements wagon and take something personally. Then I have to do the work of remembering to not take something personally because it is not about me.

One of the struggles that I work on is remembering that I am not a failure, even if by other people’s standards I am. I am grateful for the days I remember to affirm myself as I know I cannot depend on anyone other than myself to believe in me.
