To my friend across the sea I know life has been less than fair. You live your life helping others in need Helping some, that don’t seem to notice or care. — To my friend across the ocean All the battles you’ve fought have left you beaten and broken Yet kindness and love is whatContinue reading “Across the water”

No soul is insignificant No matter the vessel in which they reside. I sent this little quote/poem with the pigeon last night. The words popped into my head as I was getting it ready to be buckled up in transit bus. But let’s rewind the day a little bit, shall we? Monday morning, despite myContinue reading “Pigeon update!”

Flashbacks
The smooth, warm smell of a vanilla candle yanks me back through time. Those have been my favorite candles for as long as I can remember, because amidst the trauma of my upbringing, that smell was sweet and comforting.
