“I sat with my anger and asked why it kept showing up. It said, “Because you’ve been hurt, and no one listened.”
I sat with my sadness and asked why it never left. It said, “Because I’m the love and care you never received.”
I sat with my fear and asked why it controlled me. It said, “Because I’m the part of you that’s still waiting to feel safe.”
Then I realized, these feelings weren’t my enemies. They were my wounds, asking to be seen.”
— Rumi
Your Session
A Poetic Muse Session is a unique opportunity for dedicated self-care time that honors your wellbeing.
When you purchase a one-to-one session with Pamela, you book an opportunity for your thoughts & feelings to be heard and to express life issues that are causing you stress or emotional upset. It’s a chance to release emotional energy.
This simple act of emotional release in a trusted setting is cathartic in its own right. Your session is your time to talk about whatever frustrations and anger you may be feeling, caused by relationships, pressures at work, family issues, or everyday life burdens that we all face.
Your thoughts and feelings are transposed into a Poem that reflects emotional perspectives and insights relevant to your self-growth.
The Poem’s content aids self-transformation and self-understanding, highlighting issues that may be buried or surpressed, while it serves to expand your self-awareness and reveal personal insights.
Poetry opens the heart like no other art form can by stirring emotional memories we didn’t know we had.

How it Works
-
After your online purchase, Pamela will contact you to arrange a date and time for your 30 min. poetry session. For Virtual Sessions, you’ll receive an invitation from Google Meet with the link to join the session on the confirmed date and time. For In-Person Sessions, you’ll meet at a place previously arranged.
-
In the session, Pamela serves as an empathetic ear while you share whatever’s on your mind or causing you stress. The intention of the session is for her to listen, not to advise or offer counseling. This is dedicated time for you to express and release emotional energy.
-
Following your session, Pamela will transpose what she learned into a Poem that reflects new emotional perspectives on the thoughts and feelings you shared during your session.
Pamela will send your poem by email as a PDF file, beautifully typeset and suitable for framing.
-
After you’ve had time to read and reflect on your poem Pamela will contact you within 5 days to schedule your Follow-Up Chat.
Your follow-up chat is your opportunity to share the emotional impact and insights the poem had on you and it gives you a chance to ask questions for deeper understanding and clarity.

In Lorraine’s Fashion
To what all cometh & goeth
Comes a day of reckoning
When all things rise up
And release their hold
On our hearts
It is in these moments
When the world seems most
Upside down and unabiding
To our will
That we span the scale of time
To arrive exactly where we were
Always meant to be
So scale this chasm
That presents itself
And ride the storm
In the true fashion
That only Lorraine can do
And Do, Be, and Thrive
As the true warrior you
Have ultimately become.
Client Poems & Testimonials
Wayward Winds
Oh, from whence we
come and go
no Soul shall know
yet we move forth
in quarried circles
mining the lost
sifting the shifting
sands of time
I know not
what comes today
or goes tomorrow
I only know that it does
Is this enough to carry
my day, my time
away from treasured loves?
I know not
I can only say in the here & now
I am that I am
and all things come
as they were so intended
either in rash response
to life’s soliloquy
or in some form otherwise
intended to ignite my awareness
Fervid and True
as I hope love to be
I sway in tune
with life’s Eternal breeze
as it too comes …
and goes.
Where Do I Go Now
It is not for the faint of heart
to treasure my path to
New Horizons
though I try at will
to lead the charge
I fail to master owning
my way forward
For I am and remain
at life’s bountiful mercy
prodding & guiding
this way and that
but without the sense
of KNOWING the True Path forward
I grasp, and thus capture, but pure air
at my feet
to which I fall unabated by life’s Call
Where do I go now,
I ask the deep, veiled place
of my Being
Where do I go now ...
In solitude I rest
and remain hidden from the crowd
where all else can be seen
and heard
I remain silent to the touch
of the one thing I claim
most of all
My sense of Self-Worth
It is the sole remaining
part of me no one can touch
but LIFE itself.

“Your poem and reflections are spot on about me! I have been "searching, wondering, waiting" for many of life's questions to be answered only to find out I had the answers all along. And yes, with "head held high" I continue to go forward in life being the warrior I am of my own destiny.
Your analogy of my life is depicted so clearly and yes, accurately about me! I have endured many "fields of grace" and resolve to continue a life of strength, grace, determination, and perseverance. You captured my spirit in your kind and insightful words.” — C. Pace, VA
"I love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I enjoyed reading it and reflecting upon the experience. The design and colors both caught my eye and attracted me in, as well." — Chris, MD
