Reflection. Imagination. Captivation.
Preface: This is my SECOND blog post dated November 2009 Photo by Allan Mas on Pexels.com .. so here are some random thoughts with no real direction. So I've been intending to do some blogging. I think I have intentionally stopped beau and told him that I needed to blog about something- chatted it out... Continue Reading →
Preface: This is my very FIRST blog... dated October 22nd, 2009 Photo by Julia M Cameron on Pexels.com ...to start doing this! Blogs have always been something that I've always enjoyed READING by others, BUT doing it? That means I needed to write. I feel like I've written my share. And for it to be... Continue Reading →
Preface: This was written December 1st, 2009: 12 years ago! Background: This reflection was shortly after the Lakewood Police Officers were shot and killed very close to where I once lived.

So, I've been stirring about sitting down and writing during this time. Among the other things I'm composing, reading and researching, I came across a token from the past. Over 10 years ago, I had started a blog that I COMPLETELY forgot about. Therefore, before I compose anything new (don't worry.. I'll have another one... Continue Reading →
To begin with, I'm straight forward uncertain on how this blog will unfold. I appreciate the pureness in thought and the craft of composition, therefore, we will see how this unfolds in one sitting. I hope it is cohesive and creates reflection and inspiration as intended. If life were linear with identifiable mile markers, would we... Continue Reading →
