childlike nature.
Today, as I waited in the lunch rush, I pondered as to why life must jade the innocent & vulnerable heart.
When I was a small child, — let’s be serious, I came out of the womb at a fierce 5’ 10 3/4” (my poor mother!)— I would create and engage in a new club or empire to nurture on a regular basis. My childhood best friend, Jennifer, whom I met at the...

Talking With Horses - A beautiful connection...
Hitting shelves this week, the much-anticipated historical fiction novel, Talking With Horses, is action packed and emotion provoking with love and human warmth, offset by the violence and warfare of the era.
Emma Armbrust, an 18-year old horse lover, envisions herself as a fantastical bow-slinging warrior princess in a world of refuge from her real-life autism, which enables her to communicate...

i love you.
If you love someone, tell them. Forget about the rules or fear of looking ridiculous. What is truly ridiculous is passing up on an opportunity to tell someone that your heart is invested.

Renewed Pavement.
There is something very intriguing about the first road-run after a downpour of rain.
All week long, my mind and body pounds out the pavement, leaving behind a filth consisting of the unnecessary angst, frustration, guilt, remorse, and self-criticism that comes with my oftentimes inconvenient desire to perfect every aspect of my existence.
Such ‘running therapy’, so I call it,...

Sweet Spot.
In celebration of Starbucks Global Month of Service, I’d like to spread a little love for this establishment.
Starbucks coffee—a product that can make or break a morning for a java junky, such as myself.
Readily attracting a brand loyal key public, this company represents a vast array of products from all sorts of beverages to crumpets and pastries as well as sandwiches, espresso...

Life Parallels the Metro, the Chunnel, the Train.
The goals, dreams, aspirations, hopes, objectives, desires—that pull us in the forward direction of life, while also pulling us from comfortable. From longing eyes that wait with hope-filled expression to catch the same dream—the same train that pulls us to the unknown. The potential disappointment yet hopeful success, lathered in a false sense of confidence if lacking faith and...

Enjoy Life.
The more you learn, the more you realize how ignorant you still are. The more you know, the more you hurt. What do you know about freedom? What do you know about me? Have you seen the sunrise? I heard it can set you free. Sometimes life can crumble— Sometimes life might make you stumble. But you can’t drown in all of your sorrow, because you might be found tomorrow.

Heart Smoothie.
I have circumstantially found myself compelled to piece together a brief moment, which has been formulating in my heart over the past few years.
There are so many people we meet from all walks of life. Amongst the potpourri blend of character, personality, love languages, views—there are so many intricate possibilities with additives that formulate who we are. The irony is...

Adios, 2011.
This past year was full of new experiences, observations, and life-changing outcomes. Among the positive, were a promotion, a new opportunity in Southern California, and the reminder that not only do I have the coolest family in the world, but that they live in Columbus, Ohio and I should do so as well. That said, I am very thankful for the relocation opportunity and all of the eye-openers along...
