Wanderer

My mind wanders to places it shouldn’t go. I blame you for occurrences that never occurred and for words that were never words, except when they easily flowed from me- they didn’t glow.

And don’t forget the passing out of marching orders – who you can and cannot hang out with, what you…

Introducing ARTOFSELFBLOG

  ARTOFSELFBLOG, what is that about, you ask? Simply put, it’s about admission of grief, REdiscovery, REdefining of self, and onward searching, while accepting where we are in life.
