Unspoken
*** Author's Note: Today was the funeral of a close friend, and as we all so often find, I did not tell her enough of what she meant to me. So, this is a taste of what I feel and what I should have said every day. What we should all say every day to those who mean the most. Please Enjoy Brudda Iz singing my favorite and most healing song. To all of those we miss and love. ***

"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another." - William James Throughout the never-ending topsy-turvy fiasco that is my life, one of the silver linings was that I always had something interesting to write about.

Carried Away
Song: "The Far Side of the World" by Tidelines *** Author's Note: I recently discovered this song and band and have been sustained over the past year and a half with their music and the music that I have found through them. This music speaks to my soul in ways only a "highlander" might understand. I hope you enjoy the song and the poem it inspired.

Me in a Nutshell
Who am I? Eek! Thatβs a question that someone like me dreads, especially when it comes to writing about myself. In theory, sharing a story about myself is exciting. In reality, it's daunting and anxiety-causing. Who wants to read about me, anyway? I'm guessing not many, and so it usually goes one of three ways...

Holding Flippers with a Sea Turtle
When I was eleven, I found myself lying on my stomach on a black sand beach in Hawaii, staring into the wise, old eyes of a massive sea turtle. I lay there for the majority of the afternoon, communing with the creature, and he taught me one of the greatest lessons I've learned in this roller-coaster existence that has been my life.
