If you smile when no one

June 23, 2011December 12, 2018 | by Rebekah Steen

If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it.

Finally nailed the messy hair one eye covered shot

Finally nailed the messy hair one eye covered shot…then of course, took six days to get the nerves to post it. 🖤 #goodlighting #mermaidshag

My husband and I decided to go on a hike to do something special for our 15th wedding anniversary yesterday, and nature dished up some glorious conditions. ❄️☀️🏔️ Cheers to hiking, and if there’s snow and sunshine, consider it icing on the cake. ❄️💚 #whataday #rattlesnakeledge #pnwonderland

Here are a few painting to (hopefully) brighten up your scrolling today. Zoom in for the details - that’s the fun, messy, watercolor is so cool, couldn’t do that again if I tried, part. Yay art. 🎨🧡☀️ #goldfishkissart #watercolor #livecolorfully goldfishkissgoods.com

I rarely read my poems out loud. But there’s one

I rarely read my poems out loud. But there’s one I did read to myself after I finished it and couldn’t make it through without getting choked up. Well, it took about five tries to do this voiceover without a voice crack. But…mission accomplished. It’s the second poem in my book, and is called “if you ask me” Hope you like it.

Kind of impressed how the captions picked up almost every word correctly in spite of my tendency to mumble.

We all wear so many different hats these days, gotta love when one of them involves flowers. 🧡🌴 #itsametaphor #thinkwarmthoughts

So, I published a book. It was a big goal of mine

So, I published a book. It was a big goal of mine last year to finally take all of my favorite poems that I've written over the past decade or so, and compile them all into a book.

I started the "project" in May, and finally hit publish on December 14, 2022.

The whole goal was this: I really wanted my poems, paired with some favorite photos and illustrations together in one tangible spot before they got lost in the noise of the internet and social media world. Which is getting noisier and more abyss-like by the day. And I think it all came together at just the right time. I still want to try out 30 more cover design options, but my husband reminded me it's the inside that counts, and after flipping through it one final time, he was right.

Self-publishing is a trip, one I definitely am grateful I took.

Sunny Thoughts For Salty Souls: Poems, Thoughts, and Photos for a Quick Escape or Word hug. By Rebekah Steen. (Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million and hopefully more and more independent bookstores, shops, and beach boutiques soon.)

Felt really good to type that. Yay books. ☀️🌴🧡
