Something about her attracted thieves. She would go shopping with friends. After leaving the store they would pull sun glasses out of their armpit. Her heart would jump. This was no longer fun. Now she shopped alone.
Today she was going to buy a laptop. She gasped at the prices. She got a card with one computers information, and left.
When she got to the car, she opened her heavy purse, In it was the laptop. She froze, she cried. What would she say if she took it back? She sat and waited. Nobody came. Confused she finally left.

The Gazebo
The early spring air was cold and damp on her skin. A light ocean breeze gently pushed the long chestnut hair off her shoulders. The curls fell onto her back as the breeze let up. The lights reflected in the bay as the water rippled. The smell of salt air was so strong she could almost taste it. Was it the scent of the approaching summer or the scent of the marsh nearby trying to come back to life?

Validation Is Not An Outside Thing
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.
