Not really
I’m not one for regrets, for wishing that I could stop the hands of time. Not one for ripping open the fabric of time, reaching in and recreating what has already been. That moment no longer exists. I don’t find that type of thinking particularly productive or positive. Am I able to reflect on past…

Ah, just the very tip of the tip of the iceberg.
I may come across as open, willing to share, or divulge some of my deepest and darkest, or rawest and most sensitive stories, moments and or reflections. Yet, the truth is my childhood prepared me to become like a vault – in which my truest, most special and sacred thoughts, feelings, emotions and memories are…

Sad but true.

Regardless of what small piece of earth you call home, we are all affected. Some of us more directly, whilst others are affected vicariously. The need…

Out of place or simply different?
I have felt different my entire life. I was born the 8th child of 10 kids. I was shy and reserved and viewed life from a different lens than that of my siblings. I have always been a deep thinker, happily traversing the depths of esoteric thought. I was both cerebral and visceral. I was…

On so many levels, physically, mentally and emotionally.
They say, “Action is the enemy of thought”, and I partly agree, as in some ways, it can be the enemy of idle, unproductive and intrusive thought. Yet, in other ways, hard work helps to stimulate creative flow and thought, leading to moments of great catharsis, mental clarity, hindsight and insight. I just feel that…
