Learning to Face my Fears

I think all of us at some point in our lives have loved another. Whether it’s a family member, child, pet, significant other, someone in our lives has touched us and felt love to that person. Love is so simple, yet for some reason it’s also one of the most terrifying things to experience. The…

My Zap of Reality

I consider myself among the lucky few to actually say I have a very dear friend. Finding true friends are hard to come by. Most people, myself included, can get caught up in their own world and get to busy or distracted to think about my friends sometime and what they may be going through….

My First Challenge Completed!

Challenge one completed. Since I had gone so many years without reading a book, my first challenge was to tackle Gone with the Wind. I find it odd that I should finish it on Valentine’s Day. After all, Scarlet was a woman in love, in her own way. That book is filled with so many…

My Path Less Traveled

I’m constantly amazed how life keeps moving forward. Even if you can’t see the steps you’re taking as you are moving. Robert Frost wrote a poem once about his roads or paths in your life. He called it The Road Not Taken. I always loved that poem and have kept it in the back of…

My Evening Surprise

I am not one of those people who can’t admit when they are wrong. So, this article is me admitting I was wrong about something. Being a literature lover, I love a Jane Austin book as much as the next. It is of my opinion that she writes with her heart and her passion, which…

Weekend Fun

I love the weekends. They give me a chance try and catch up on all the things that happened over the week. It’s amazing how great it feels to have the freedom to sleep in and take care of the things I want or need to take care of, without be subjected to the demands…

Going Forward

I have always loved sunrises and sunsets. Especially the sunsets because I am usually not a morning person. But they always were beautiful. When I was growing up, I remember being surrounded by big beautiful mountains, and the sunsets would fill up the sky more beautiful in Arizona than many people can imagine. However, they…

Rivers and Woods

The woods are calm with mystery and light Yet the river come through rushing day and night The woods love the river for life and joy Yet the river thinks the woods are only their toy. The river thinks he needs no one playing under the sun While the woods depend on the river that…
