Blissfully Broken
Today, I am reminded they no longer control me. Maybe I am broken, but I am blissfully broken. The mind is a powerful thing. Will. I had it. I wanted to survive. I did. I endured. I prayed. God answered. I didn’t get to where I am today because this life was handed to me. […]

Still, I do not feel afraid
I walked through the darkest alleys in strange cities, the loneliest roads on the other side of this world, felt the shadows of evil, and seen the terror the night brings in my own city… and still, I do no feel afraid. The lack of fear scares me the most. And yet, bravery is only […]

Before you pass judgment
So I finally had a few days off where I could breathe, and catch up on sleep. Honestly I didn’t think about anything, I just needed few days of “non-deep thinking”. (Which is a pretty big deal for me) So first order of business, I went and got a pedicure. Now before you pass judgement […]

What a lucky year it’s been
Today is my birthday. Last year, March 19, was a warm beautiful, sunny day. Which was really significant because we had a polar vortex winter and I can’t begin to explain how brutally cold it was. Cessna said it was going to be a lucky year and 33, was quite the year! Travel. I traveled […]
