I am, like everyone else, flawed and forever learning. Much of what you will read was inspired by experiences gathered over the past several years. Some of the proceeding texts were written in moments of pain through bitter tears; other pieces were frantically written after the words in my head woke me from slumber, in the wee hours of the morning, demanding to be expelled onto paper; then there are the moments of extraordinary happiness that I was lucky enough to experience and share. Moments where I bathed in the joy and peace while soaking in every sensation so that I could, at a later date, revisit the memory and saver every detail while I hand chose each word to capture, express and share my experience...I am a work in progress. One battle at a time I am earning my strips; recording my experience's; sharing my thoughts and ideas; and with my pen in hand, I am expressing my point of view, my way, through my eyes, giving voice to my thoughts, and acknowledging my truth.
