When the Rain Stops
Sweet, warm sunshine. We all enjoy that burning orb in our skies. Lazy summer days on the beach, a warm brisk wind blowing in from beyond the blue horizon of the Atlantic. Lay back on a blanket; feel the grit of sand between your toes

Mental messiness
What is a mental mess, and how can you identify it in your life? It’s often overlooked. Most days, your not even sure how to describe the turmoil. You can’t put words to it; you only feel it on the fringes of your mind.

Regrouping
I had my share of breakthroughs and heartbreaks over this past year, everything from reaching new heights to the depths of despair when a dear friend lost her son. Memorable vacations and feeling like my purpose has run under the bridge and disappeared down the river of life.
