Diets are for crazy people

Thank God Grandpa isn’t here to see this crap

When I think about my grandfather's life it seems the perfect time to have been alive. He was born in 1911, and died at 96 year of age nearly witnessing the entire 20th century.

A note to my nemesis…

"The measure of a superhero is always his nemesis." David Lyons This morning, like most mornings I woke up and went directly downstairs to find the sun.

Days of Reflection – Coming into the Light

How far is the journey? As deep as it is long! My layers have shed, my true self exposed. There is a heeling process when experiencing so much change. I say goodbye to my former self.
