Escaping the Friend Zone
There was a time in my life when I was just like you. I wanted to be more than a friend to the girl of my dreams. Every time I saw her, I felt my heart race, and it got harder to breathe. Seriously, it was something out of a movie: I was the short, nerdy, pudgy kid taking honors classes and she was the gorgeous, affable, popular girl next door that everybody loved. Think Steve Urkel and Laura Winslow. Doug Funnie and Patti Mayonnaise. Now maybe I’m a little biased, but I’m sure I wasn’t the only guy that had a crush on her; there were taller dudes, guys that weren’t taking the bus to school every day like me. Guys with their own cars and better clothes than me, bigger muscles and better personalities. The whole time I felt that she was out of my league. Even though I had no reason to believe that I would ever have a shot with her, I still thought it was possible because I had a secret weapon; I thought I had a chance because I was her friend. I figured if I just tried to be the best friend I could be, she would eventually come to appreciate me and decide to give me a chance.

Hedge-Riding for the Gemini Collective
As a Hedge Witch, I decided the best way I could serve Geminis everywhere was through hedge-riding. Flying the hedge, (Otherwise known as “veil-walking”) is a highly individualized practice and involves traveling beyond this world in order to return with knowledge, healing, enlightenment and more.

Sunrise
"You are a fire" he told me and I wasn't sure if it was a compliment or an insult. The day is born and we are vacant in our bodies. We are so thirsty for adventure that we are too tired to live. We are blinded by our inconsistencies. I wanted to find you here, beneath the sun and the moon as one awakens and another is off to sleep. I wanted to know you and understand your beauty with a clean pair of eyes. But the image is out of focus. And our bodies are too close to do this with a clear head.

The Stairwell
Jasmine slammed the door behind her and started toward the elevator. Her boyfriend’s muffled yells followed her. Although she couldn’t make out what he was saying, she let out a shout of frustration, UUUUGGGHH. Upon reaching the elevator, she reached and pressed the down button. The button glowed briefly while her finger was on it, but was extinguished as soon as she let go. Shaking her head, she tried several more times before letting out a heavy sigh. “Of course! Why would the elevator be in service!?”

Stop Waiting for Your Soul Mate!
The One As a young girl, I recall dressing up like a bride with a cluster of giggling friends. We all took turns wearing a sheer lace curtain panel as a veil, secured by a headband, parading down the "aisle" (hallway) as the "bridesmaids" tromped along behind, pretending to hold up the invisible train.

Work Hard, Love Harder:
If there’s anything being a responsible adult has taught us, it’s the importance of balance. Time management is a skill we learn to develop as we grow older, and it doesn’t just apply to our working lives. After all, along with a demanding career, we also have to juggle our social lives, get enough sleep, cook, maintain relationships, and have quality alone time.

A Gift from God
A Gift from God By John Matthews Several years ago I meet the most amazing person in the world. After several unsuccessful relationships and being worn out from the bar scene, I almost gave up. I prayed for about three years and felt like giving up. I always thought I would be the one who would never find love. I felt a feeling of hopelessness that love would not find me. One day I was browsing the internet noticed a dating website called E-Harmony. I heard this site had been successful in finding matches leading to marriage. I was the type to think these dating sites were scams and that all they wanted to do is drain people by emptying their pockets. After being disgusted from blind dates, clubs, and bars I decided to give E-Harmony a try. I signed up and did searches to find possible matches for me. It didn't take long before I got responses back from individuals. I wrote the ones I sent messages to individuals that I found interesting. It was not long before I received responses and eventually met up with people for dates. Apparently, these dates did not seem to go far and I felt myself in a rut wondering ifthere was really true love out there for me. I sent a message out to a deaf woman from New Jersey named Andrea, who had similar interests with me. I felt like this would not work out because I would have trouble communicating with her. We talked for about two months online and finally decided to meet at Laurel Lanes Bowling Alley in Mount Laurel New Jersey.
