It’s akin to the difference between a leisurely Sunday stroll and a brisk walk towards a scheduled appointment. With a clear understanding of the ‘why’, ‘how’, and ‘when’, you can accomplish … Continue readingSuccess is a science;

I am unwritten, undefined, A blank page waiting to be designed, The pen is in my hand, but the ending unknown, The possibilities ahead, like seeds yet unsown.

We are prisoners of repeating history. We are victims over an over. Blameless perhaps because we follow the same path but tragic just the same. We have to break the chains that bind us to poverty, failed relationships, unsatisfying jobs and on a global scale war, poverty, hunger and every other malice. So why do we repeat the same wrong time after time. It has to do with being human. We all remember the power and acceleration of a fast car, we don’t remember the bad fuel economy or other problems. We must all think before we react again….

That first kiss is the scariest ever!  The second kiss is better.

Still a bird without flight, a butterfly in a cocoon, a young bribe without a lover. Her black waist long hair flowing down the mountains, an unexplored country, hidden in mystery.  How I desire to explore … Continue readingHaiti
