Sally Rooney’s Beautiful World, Where Are You
Finishing off 2024 with one last book, I am incredibly happy to have Sally Rooney’s Beautiful World, Where Are You, as my final read. It was a lovely novel that I received as a gift earlier in 2024 for my birthday, and while I regret not picking it up sooner, I feel that reading such…

A Love So Radiant
With eyes like that My heart melted like butter, With just a glimpse You still steal my heart My days without you are desolate But in your arms, I become more alive. With lips like that I still want you more, Your words become reality A reality I can never stop thinking about A future…

The Joy Of Theatre
Community Theatre is such a beautiful thing. The lights of the marquee at night become the highlight downtown, making your evening stroll feel like a scene in a Hallmark movie. Seating up to 115 guests per performance, the Historic BeeKay Theatre is small but mighty. Here is a place where you can see a fantastic…

Joe Wicks ‘Cheesy Chorizo Chicken and Spinach’
One of my favorite recipes is from Joe Wicks, called ‘Cheesy Chorizo Chicken and Spinach’. It’s a tasty, healthy alternative and something fairly quick after a long day at work. Serves one person Ingredients: 1/2 Red Onion 4 Cherry tomatoes sliced in half (I usually add more, but try and test to what you like)…

Growing Older
I push a seed through the dirt, bursting the watery film of membrane wrapped around the soil’s cranium with tendon-deep greed and the strained color spill of fleece white knuckles digging for color hoping to swap samples of sap for the gooey, numb blood of truffles and evergreens and gold wanting to extract pine needles …

The Weight Of A Smile
Behind the curve of a painted grin, Lies a storm I carry deep within. A stage set bright, where I play my part, While shadows whisper in my heart. Threads unravel, yet I weave, A fabric of strength they won’t perceive. For eyes that watch, I bear the sun, But in the night, I come…

Life’s Sweet Moments
It’s an early morning in January, and I’m sitting in front of my fireplace, drinking a warm mug filled with hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows, thinking about how wonderful the winter months are. Snowflakes are falling outside, the Christmas festivities are over, and the scent of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies in the oven awaits…

Sing Our Song
Sing our song, For my sake, please. Now that I’m gone, You will forever be missed. Sing our song, Not the one we sang at the stream, But the one that made me cry, After you had that awful dream. Sing our song, When you sit under the moon. Take heart and be strong, Starlight,…

Wintry Whines
It’s so cold out here, Amid the wind and rain, Among the wandering public, Meandering by the bus stop, Smoking on a vape, Endless cars pass by, Meaningless thoughts are aroused, Enter the vehicle to home, Become one of the drones, Ending up in an automatic song, Repeating all that is known, Never-ending moans, Of…
