Although I don’t have a clue why, I am addicted to quotes. My top 10 list of favorite quotes is constantly changing, perhaps because our lives are continuously evolving. These are ones that I am especially partial to right now, in this moment… When you have come to the edge of all light that you …

Remember when we were young and spent HOURS riding bikes and never got tired? Why is it that now we call it exercise and dread it as if we were fixin’ to have a root canal? Why is it that people only discuss food when I am starving to death? Is there really an “off” …

I am afraid of the dark. I have been as long as I can remember. As a child, the darkness represented the monsters in the world. I remember hiding under the covers at night because my mind decided that if I couldn’t see them, they couldn’t see me either. It made perfect sense to me. …
