(Fair warning: This post will be all over the place because my mind is experiencing zero G’s and I don’t have much control over it.) I've sat down to write this post a half dozen times over the last three days but every word I type feels disingenuous. They aren’t wrong and the topics really... Continue Reading →
“It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” ― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl Does anyone else feel like we woke...

Someone asks me how I’m doing, and I say, “I’m fine.” It’s a normal response to a typical question. Nothing fancy or verbose. It’s not an epic soliloquy. We aren’t meticulously detailing every second of a day that’s been pretty basic. Not a great day but not a bad one either. It was just, you... Continue Reading →
“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.” ― Alphonse Karr, A Tour Round My Garden I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling overwhelmed right now. There’s one topic on everyone's mind and on everyone’s lips. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest…I didn’t know there were that many ways to decorate... Continue Reading →
I’m an introvert with moderate, sometimes severe, social anxiety. The idea of social isolation is as intriguing and alluring as a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Stay away from people? Don’t go to social gatherings? Stay home, behind closed doors, and not see another human being for at least two weeks?... Continue Reading →
“You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.” – Winnie the Pooh Oh to be a three years old again! Sitting in a small theatre, watching a life-size Winnie the Pooh and Friends dance across a stage. It was the first musical theatre show I ever saw and I... Continue Reading →
Someone asked me this question: “After everything you’ve been through, do you still believe in God?” Whew, that's a loaded topic. Kinda top heavy. I'm not sure how to answer you but I'll try my best. Forgive me if I stutter and stumble. Deep breath. Here we go. I believe in a greater power, and... Continue Reading →
“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost.” -J.R.R Tolkien, The Fellowship of The Ring I’m not lost! I’m standing right here, in the middle of a forest, looking up at the treetops and thinking silly thoughts. Thoughts like: What do you think the trees have seen in the... Continue Reading →
Let’s take a walk, shall we? Not through the forest, along a beach, or up a mountain. The trails we tread won’t be firm or formed by shifting tectonic plates. It won’t be lit by the sun or a street lap. It’s deep inside an ill-traversed cavern full of wonders and dangers. It goes deep... Continue Reading →
“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it sows perhaps the greater.” - J.R.R Tolkien (Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring) It’s hard for me...
