This past year I feel like I have been seated in a sea of discomfort in many of the facets that make up my life. Nothing is horrible but it is uncomfortable. I feel wiggly inside and often I want to run away. If you start to feel uncomfortable or hurt, sad, tired, depressed, or …

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
In many ways each of our experiences become our personal story. Certain stories have more weight then others. Most are fleeting but some are fingered like a touchstone and stroked into a belief.

My personal boundaries were so …

Gingersnap Angel
This morning I shopped at the new grocery store (if you live in Baltimore you know exactly which one I mean) and because of that coupled by its oddly suburban feel, I wandered every aisle. Typically I shop the perimeter of the store. I find, for the most part, that is where the real unprocessed …
