Have You Ever Wondered?
Have you ever wondered about that random person, that one that you see as you go about your daily business? Have you ever wondered what their story is? What their dreams are? I am a wonderer. When I am wondering about people, I wonder how much of the story do we really know and if we…
Day 28: Made It!! #28daysofwriting
I made it. I confess on several occasions I thought it would be touch and go, especially on the night of my board meeting when I didn’t get home until the middle of the night, and the last few posts have been like pulling teeth without tools or painkiller. Not because I am unable to…

Eight Songs of Inspiration
2014 has been an interesting journey, with a road that has been full of ups and downs, tight corners and long straights. At times the road has been smooth and a ‘chilled’ ride and at other times it has been a potholed, dusty, gravelled track that has been a challenge to navigate. That is the…
