Gratitude

Dear Diary,
Every moment of every day is an opportunity to live and live well. I've written a couple of things about change and the challenge of that process and how it can be uncomfortable. I'm really starting to like uncomfortable. Why? Because it means I'm alive. I never knew just how close I came to losing myself entirely . . .

Serendipity

Blissfully real

Dear Diary,

I recently had the honor of attending a charity book signing for my dear friend Roberto Vecchi, author of Dragon Within: Redemption. During the course of the day, I was able to read several of his pieces and a few of my own. I really like reading poetry aloud to others almost as much as I enjoy reading it for myself or of . . .

Stretch

Huh?

Dear Diary,
Today I am using my blog to rant, cause it's my blog and when I say (type) things out loud, it becomes clearer. I don't think I'm very good at my job. I enjoy it...when I can do it at my pace. I struggle with the ideas of not being good enough and that often handicaps my performance. Truthfully, I'm probably . . .

Emotional Realism

My personal Rollercoaster

Dear Diary,
There are days when I feel everything around in me in such depth that tears come to my eyes not a few but dozens times in a day. I want to love those that need love and laugh with those that need a laugh.... And then there are days I feel me. Those days have been hard but are getting easier. I like to run away from myself; not . . .

Continuing the theme....

What is a kiss?

Here is a piece from a friend who wrote the best description of a true kiss that I've ever heard.

Kissing Eternity

A kiss begins with lips unmet
But in the mind the field is wet
To guide the path that gods bestow
Upon the dreams we must forgo

A kiss is felt through time and trust
Shedding the . . .

Awakening

The challenge of pure sight

Dear Diary,
I like to think I am self aware, enlightened, educated, feeling.... all the things we are supposed to strive for. And then I find myself full of envy and angst over a situation that DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. My latest manifestation of this is pure unadulterated jealously. I've come to realize that I seek attention and I give . . .
