Gosh. So Two thousand and WTF (2016) came into our lives like one of those tropical storms that get named after some poor, unsuspecting woman, who may have, once upon a time have done something to be remembered in such a manner. 2016 brought tears and heartbreak. Hardships and challenges. It also brought with it [...]
The Sea Calls out to my Soul
Sun-kissed shoulders and salty kisses, the melody of waves that come back time and time again to caress the shore like a lover separated for too long, mermaid dreaming in an everyday world... The sea calls out to my soul, like a siren to a sailor. It is these things that heal me. It has been a time [...]
An Ode to That Which Matters
