Happiness Is Where Our Heart Is
My family's unwavering belief in me makes me feel that I can do anything, be anything. This blog is about the people that made a difference in my life and the many journeys we made together. Because of them,I get to dream again...and those dreams, they remind me each day that life is a gift and a blessing. A blessing that is full of goodness, joy and hope.

Who Turned Off The Life Switch?
My Life is not great, but it’s also not boring. My Life often switches to two contrasting feelings and emotions with moderate intensity in between. Lights On, Lights Off. Happy On, Happy Off. Anger On, Anger Off. Freedom On, Freedom … Continue reading
Lone Cypress Tree by the Sea

It Takes Pain To Create Something Beautiful
