Poetry – How Do I Say I Love A Girl
How do I say I love a girl? Do I just go down on one knee, Hold her fingers and give them a kiss? Or do I just gaze into her eyes steadily, And let nature convey my message? How do I say I love a girl? Do I just kiss her lips, To express…

At the top of the list are a few series that dominate the scene: Breaking Bad, Naruto, Star Wars, and shows…

Something happens on the inside of you when your mindset is positive. In no way am I saying this is an easy task. We have our whole life behind us, and that life is riddled with the way we were raised, the neighborhood influences, peers we surrounded ourselves with, our culture, and the constant borage…

Poetry – The Spirit Of Spring
Gathering dew slides off a soft petal and drops below. The drop slips downwards through a series of vines like a perfect path, slowly kissing its way down the stems.

The Mind Trap (p.1)
‘Blink once if you’re okay, twice for not okay, three times for water.’ ‘Squeeze my hand if you can, just something.’ You know what? I don’t feel like it, okay. What if I want to just lie here dead still? Jokes, not really feeling that you know; what I really fancy is a decaf no,…

What The Heck Is Going On?
Have you ever sat back and reflected on how it seemed your life was unraveling right before your eyes? You can remember when you had everything in order. There was no clutter to be found, not even a dust ball in the corner. You juggled being a wife, a mommy, a full-time employee, in school…
