So here I am sitting in the Wegmans grocery store cafe and as I attempt to gather my thoughts, “100 Years” by Five For Fighting begins to play on the radio. I listen closer and it ends up serving as an important reminder. The lyrics speak of young age and moving on to old age... Continue Reading →
Right Foot, Left Foot
He asks himself As a reminder He ponders over purpose Over and under and around. He sprints towards the hurdle As the crowd cheers In his head Right foot, left foot, right, left. Keep going. Don’t give up.
Lessons As A Twenty-Something
I watched some of the NFL draft last night and couldn’t help to think about how these players made it. The majority of them must have had fantasies about being a professional football player since childhood and now, some at the ripe age of even 21, their dreams came true. All of their hard work,...

“No, What Do You Really Do For Fun?”
“I read and write, Grandma!” My 95-year-old grandmother just wasn’t buying it. In our last phone call, the conversion led to shows we watch on television and what I do on the weekends.

Since starting a new full-time job... Continue Reading →

Seven
I reached out for his hand and when we touched it was nearly frozen. His gentle fingers grasped onto mine, causing my veins to shiver. It was in that second that I knew this was true love. He walked me over to the bench near us and sat me down. “Ok, watch this!” he told me. ... Continue Reading →
Animals And Yoga And Me
