A Rambling of Experiences and Observations
I felt the dewy grass between outstretched fingers as I held my gaze skyward. The wet earth compressed beneath a head filled with what-ifs and why-nots. I love to feel cool rain on bare skin. A promise that all things get washed away if left out long enough. Like the salty mingling under light showers. … Continue reading Streaming Sky Blue

Like waking up suddenly and being confused about your location, the time, the … Continue reading January Recap: A Rambling of Happenings

Do you ever think about how many people have come and gone in your life? A while back there was some workplace drama among my young colleagues. One of the girls was telling me all about how her friendship with a fellow co-worker just was not going to work out. She was sad about it, … Continue reading Human Connection/Friendship: A Rambling
When I was around seven years old, something changed me.
