My feet touch the criss-cross brick pavers with sentimental recollection. Memories of salt air brushing against my face. Walking hand-in-hand with the man I’ve loved for more years than I thought I could count. Sunsets sinking into the ocean’s horizon while we cuddle on Hawiian, floral beach towels. In this quaint, artistic town sculpted around a God-carved nook in the ocean, we once again feel the

Can you hear the sounds they make as they call to each other? They are beautifully dressed with their feathery head dress. One movement, one sound, and they will flit away.

There’s nothing like time with your girlfriends to invigorate your life. Even the head of psychiatry at Stanford University a few years ago told students that the healthiest thing women can do for themselves is to spend time with their girlfriends “nurturing” their relationships.

There’s something about Spring, about seeing the new life bud forth that instills in us a sense of hope.When I walked to my favorite spot in our backyard, I looked up at the green leaves sprouting from our orange tree. But what I desperately wanted to see was some sign of an orange blossom, no matter how small. I crooked my neck back, staring into the twisted branches, just hoping that our tree would hold the promise of a … Continue reading →
