She knew this walk all too well. She knew where she would end up and how many steps it would take to be in the light. She didn’t love life. She didn’t hate it. There was just that. Amazing how life could be so mundane yet entrenched in […]
I want to preface this whole discussion, by staying I believe in jinxes and am really crossing my fingers at this point. So, please do wish me luck and maybe even wish me a martini fairy. Those exist somewhere, right? I have been on a house search for […]
