SHE STOOD ALONE ON THE EDGE OF DARKNESS

Through forests of emerald-green bliss, She pranced, Embracing the colors of endless play— The rainbows of summer. She was a child of the earth. Her tiny voice sang, And she danced! No danger lurked in her twinkling eyes. Everything in her fearless laughter Was colored with mirth. She built castles on the shore By a […]

WINNING THE SELF-SABOTAGE BATTLE WITH SELF-LOVE

We all become conscious, at some point in our lives, of ways we can sabotage our physical well-beings. When it comes to sabotaging our emotional well-beings, and even our financial security and stability, things seem to become more complicated.

GRIEF: THE DEVASTATING TRUTHS BEHIND THE TEARS

Sometimes we lose someone who may not have been that close to us, yet we think they should have been. Those ties were supposed to bind but didn’t.

I also exhibited signs of Asperger’s and, by my late teens, had developed BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder) which peaked in […]

NO LOVE FOR A NAUGHTY CHEATING HEART

There’s this guy I’ve run into on several occasions. We’ve had conversations in passing. He knows I write books. Last time we crossed paths, he said I should write his life story. Because there are those who think writers sit around waiting for someone to offer up a life story or provide ideas. Right now, […]

EXCERPTS An impulsive glance at the sky halted me in my tracks, or had I sensed it?

THE THORNY PATH OF EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION IS NEVER BLISSFUL

Nothing sounds more appealing to me than the idea of being gentle and loving with everyone and everything. I have always believed compassion might be the only thing that could save us.
