What do I tell you about Jay that I haven't already said oh so many times on my blog. I wear my heart on my sleeve for him. He was my first friend in this blogging world.

Musing – PLOT ARC
I am extremely disturbed!! I read a book which I thought to be a young adult fastasy with elves and unicorns and magic, and beasts in the forest where 2 siblings were to go on a quest. Before the journey, the brother fell, hit his head and lost his memories including the meaning of relationships … Continue reading Musing – PLOT ARC

One Bad day…
Life is nothing but an ebb and flow of emotions Where the spoken word sometimes hits and stuns The peak oft high, the valley just drowns I try to smile, they turn into frowns I wander through life, trying to be strong A wind soon blows, hitting me down I lay defeated, wounded too The … Continue reading One Bad day…

Winds of Change
