Him CLICK HERE TO START READING AT CHAPTER 1 Twenty-one is way too young to fall in love for the second time so that mushy stuff definitely wasn’t on my mind when I started to hang out with Tracey – first sharing D&G cream sodas in the writing room and then lingering over chili cheese…

Creating Energy
In a post entitled The First Law of Organizational Thermodynamics, Seth Godin outlined how energy can be created or destroyed and that you’re either the one who makes something possible or hinders its progress. You can be the generous person who creates energy, putting in more than you take out and thereby ensuring that people constantly…
Imagine Me
See past my scars and imagine dewy skin that was never laced with angry fingerprints See past my unshed tears blocking hazel drops reflecting everything I feel and think, See gray strands and imagine thick coils of youth It wasn’t so long ago I wore heavy braids down past My shoulders but when he yanked…

Written For Me
I found my name chiseled in stone. Etched, maybe centuries before my first breath. With a height chart I never grew to, A certificate I never earned, still waiting, My name just written there, Wasted raindrops filling the curved loops of my undeserved title, Moss growing, waiting for me to claim my due. I found my…
Light up the dark
Some days we spend in total question We can’t find a single thing that goes right We’re all lonely and wondering if things will be different And what will happen to the rest of our lives And someday the path changes direction And moonbeams glimmer to light up the dark Shadows fade and a face…
