When I was a young girl, I wanted to be a dancer. Two months after my retirement, I joined two Zumba classes and, two months later, a ballroom dancing class. I felt free and lighthearted doing what I wanted to do and what I'm passionate about. I also started exploring myself, and while doing so, I looked back at the hardships I had gone through in more than five decades of my life and how I evolved. I'm here more courageous and stronger to continue my life journey. I had written poems before, occasionally, and just recently discovered that I can motivate, encourage, and uplift others through my other passion: writing poetry. Poems that inspire us to rise above circumstances for no matter how hard and how many times we fall, we can get up and keep on going. It does not matter how slow or how long it takes to get back up. It is one's unfaltering spirit, will, and determination that count, giving our all on whatever we do and bringing out the best in us. Everything is within us, within our reach. It is all up to us. Peace, contentment, and happiness are decisions, and it is up to us to decide.

Marilene was born, raised and educated in the Philippines. She came to the United States and settled in Southern California in June, 1974. She worked in the insurance industry, most of her forty three working years. She is a mother to four children and a grandmother to seven grandchildren. She is retired and pursuing her passions in dancing and writing. Her experiences of being discriminated in the work force for being female and having English as a second language, of being a single mother to four children, and her personal and financial losses have inspired her to write poems on rising above circumstances, loving one's self, growing, developing, exploring and learning continuously.
