  • Got a little white sand mermaid

    November 4, 2014December 12, 2018

    Got a little white sand mermaid necklace addict flash vibe going on. And felt like it coordinated well with some coconut tree shade. For some odd reason. Because opposites always attract. And this is one

    There’s only one you. One unique, one of a kind, hard to understand, quirky, unpredictable, rockstar of a person, you. So why try to be anyone else?  In other words: “Always be a first rate

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.

    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. ☀️🌴🧡
