I started to think about this as I opened my mouth…sometimes yes and sometimes no. Then my mind begins to wander…what do others do? Well, it seems someContinue reading “All Apologies”

Humanity. What does it mean to you? Who are we as humans? This is the one thing we all have in common and yet, I believe, we often strip each other of that right…yes, the right to be human. We often expect perfection of ourselves and we unwittingly expect it of others also. Are weContinue reading “Humanity Disclosed”

What does it take to write a blog and keep it up? Ideas and an audience…if you’re missing one of these, it just doesn’t happen!
