a new year. a new embrace on life, on love.  on dreams…on pretty much everything. a new year is a time to embark on new ambitions; leaving behind any unresolved “i should haves” and nagging “wish i could haves”.  the turning of the calendar brings fresh promises and desires to strive towards. a new year is…

its a rare thing to find – organic friendship.  the kind of friendship that grows from a mere hello.  a friendship that is deep and meaningful, mutually invested in and mutually reciprocated.  yes, real honest friendship is hard to come by. which is why i am ever so lucky for having met the viking, HS.  i know she knows…

i was asked the other day if i was truly happy being on my own.  without hesitation i said yes.  my response baffled the person asking the question – i’m not sure if it was due to the fact that i was so confident in my response or because she couldn’t understand how a “single 20-something” could actually be…

my training wheels came off today.  like learning how to ride your first bike, i am learning how to live for myself, on my own.  six months ago i began pedaling my way towards something.  not sure what.  my experiences to date here have been safe.  but i knew that, a comfortable haven to play. …

life is filled with ordinary people.  you encounter strangers every day.  smile at someone whom you will never see again.  but it is the extraordinary people that you meet that are memorable.  the ones you want to hold onto.  the ones filled with loveliness.  the ones that light up your heart.  the ones that leave…

Sometimes it takes some kind words from an old friend to remind you that you are going in the right direction: It sounds like you’ve truly found  yourself and I believe that of the very few people in this world who actually have an opportunity to find themselves and  really discover who they are, even…

i was told this week that i lost my center of balance.  more in respect of not being able to run, my outlet for coping and instilling a healthy habit into my life.  and i thought that would explain why i have been feeling tired and heavy.  but it’s not because i am not able…
