A Pinhole of Light

Days Like Today…

It is a gorgeous, bright sunshiny day today. It is also Mother’s Day here in North America. Indeed, it’s a day of celebration for some of the most special individuals in the world; after all, none of us would be here without our moms. Thus, it seems fitting that the sun is shining on this …

I Wish…

I wish... I wish that we could all get out of this ongoing mess, I wish that the sun would be shining everyday, I wish that we could see our loved ones without being fearful, I wish that we could see the light at the end of the tunnel, I wish that the third wave …

Waiting On The Curve

I've dreamed/dreamt about it for months and months now.  At one point, I thought that I would NEVER be able to do it again.  No word of a lie.  But today... I did it!  I really, really did it and it felt amazing just like I had remembered it.  Today is a day to celebrate …

On A Wing and A Prayer

Imagine....
