“But are not this struggle and even the mistakes one may make better, and do they not develop us more, than if we kept systematically away from emotions?” ~Vincent Van Gogh I have so many thoughts and emotions inside me that I just want to write and write and write. I’m sure now that you…

Serendipity
“Do you think the universe fights for souls to be together? Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences.” Emery Allen A fortunate happenstance or a pleasant surprise? Have you seen the movie Serendipity? It’s one of my favorite movies and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it and it…
Peculiar
A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable. Eileen Caddy Isn’t it strange that I find this halfway bloom beautiful? I have shots of the same Azalea plant with flowers in full bloom and yet this one caught my eye. Have you ever considered yourself peculiar at times? I’d like to use…
My kind of flock
When you hear the word flock, who and what do you associate it with? I’ve always been a homebody. I like being by myself and with myself. At first, I always associate it with being shy, timid and anti-social. I thought it has something to do with my self-esteem…that I am not confident enough….

Tangled Beauty
How can someone or something that is tangled up…be beautiful? In short, is there such a thing as beautifully confused or beautifully complicated and chaotic? I’m sure if we were to ask people, most will probably describe beauty as something more predictive and orderly. Someone or something who’s in charge or know what they are…
Beautifully Bruised
I found this beauty laying on the brick walkway at work . It was there, probably waiting to be picked up or wondering if somebody would notice. I have no idea if somebody else found her beautiful or if somebody took a few minutes out of their time to admire her. I did. I find…
Turning the Pages
It’s been almost two years since I published my first book. I wish I can tell you the exact number of hard or digital copies sold….but I can’t. Not because I am embarrassed to tell you, but simply because I really have no idea. I’m not counting. I’m not interested in the numbers. Was I…
