As the year draws to a close, we notice the moments that make the memories, the feelings that wedge into our hearts, and the flash of the people who always make us smile.


The words in these five blog posts reflect those times that stood out for me, moments between the first hint of light each day and the black darkness that is filled with stars. I am glad that they did not escape me.

I am holding in my hand these words and hope they reach you today as you might need them. These posts that taught me about paying attention to what we take into our next day, to grow, and to be better.


Choose wisely dear reader. Make each moment and each word we feel and speak count towards our tomorrow. (Tweet This)

We are afraid of the Unknown, and death is in my thinking the Ultimate Unknown. Read more

Secret Telling



We all have secrets, some of ours might be huge or almost harmless but yet they are unspoken and not shared. I remember being about six or seven and doing what I considered to be a despicable thing. My will had been manipulated by some older friends. It was a feeling that would broadcast itself through my body like shock waves… Read more
