getting over the hump
Rather I’m on the beach in Honolulu, or in a dimly lit room, I can’t escape this feeling; this burden that I’ve been carrying. I used to think that I was the master of my fate and the captain of my soul, but this….this has been weighing me down for sometime: The bag of unforgiving sand.…

What’s missing?
Greetings to all of the fantabulous readers out there (fantastic+fabulous=fantabulous)! I bring you greetings from the penthouse floor of my building, where I reside. Who cares if my building only has three floors? That’s not the point. Let’s get right to it. Lately, I am constantly being reminded that everything requires a process. I find…
