I'm never one to put all of my business in the street, but I am willing to share this: I am afraid to fail. Where this random fear came from I don't know, but it's always been there, lingering in the dark recesses of my already overactive imagination. The infamous "What if?" question has been … Continue reading Standing in Fear
Walk in faith, …
Walk in faith, don't stand in fear.This is one of the hardest life lessons to learn, but so necessary.
‘Tis the Season… For Whaaa?
My deepest apologies to my followers, old and new. I haven't been writing much up here, thanks to my ever demanding job on the bottom rung on the retail corporate ladder. The fact that it's the holiday season doesn't help much. No. It definitely doesn't help. But that's why I decided to take a few minutes … Continue reading ‘Tis the Season… For Whaaa?
Challenge to Myself
Life is funny. As soon as you set your mind out to do something you really want to do, something wholly unpredictable presents itself.

Angel of Light
I don't know how much more I can take, I thought. I can't wait for this to be over. I leaned over my bedridden father as I buttoned his pajama top. My drab brown hair hung in his face, but I knew it didn't bother him. Ever since his stroke, he couldn't feel much of anything. … Continue reading Angel of Light

Bitten by the snake, I was Blinded by the lust to taste that fruit Only to find my eyes opened To the inevitability of my demise. Why? I knew better than … Continue reading Apple
