In a Fog
In a fog. Unable to see ahead. The sounds of life muffled. But the road beckons me. To follow its path into the unknown.
Frozen
Frozen with fear. Frozen with the unknown. Frozen in time not knowing what step to take. When is the thaw? When will I know? When will it be time to dance?

Looking Forward
May I wish you a wonderful and glorious Happy New Year and hope that 2015 brings you much happiness and success. When reviewing 2014, the first thing that comes to mind is all the bad things that happened. Life challenges were pervasive throughout the year and are continuing […]
Within the Fog
