One Act of Kindness
My world is one of black and white. Of good and evil. My world is after mankind’s destruction. Sobs and hysteria echo about the empty valleys and cities now where there was once endless noise, a mixture of good and bad and anywhere in between. Laughter is rarely heard and when it is, it is looked down upon with terror as if the very idea or thought or sound of joy might bring more devastation upon the surface of our world.

A Little Closure
I think it's reasonable to guess that almost everyone in the world has experienced a situation in which they have received no closure. Whether it be an incident, a relationship, an experience, an addiction or lifestyle, I believe we all have dealt with something that moved us deeply and created a wound which refuses to close. In fact, I think it's safe to say the majority of people have experienced several things in their life in which closure seems out of reach.

Keep Your Heart Light
More times than I count already in my short life I have experienced the burden that is life. Times when life simply is too much. It sits on your shoulders and makes you slouch. Your stomach is not only in knots but it feels as if you are trying to break down and digest magnificent boulders that have shrunk down to fit in your systems. Simple tasks are too hard to find the motivation and everyday menial repetitive tasks that are part of everyone's day to day are just too much effort.

Answers From Your Inner Child
Think back to a place in time... You're five years old, and you're looking at the sky in amazement. "Why is the sky blue?" We've ALL asked that question as a child – I'm pretty sure. For some of us the answer was: "Because God made it that way," or "Because that's the colour the universe made it.," or maybe it was: "because that's the sky fairies favourite color today;" or "I don't know! Ask your teacher!" But none of it mattered really to you... the big simple picture was this sole fact: The sky was blue. And it was big. And it was...AMAZING!
