Dear Spring, Oh, how we have been anticipating your arrival. You have teased us with near summer-like days that turned into bone-shivering chills. Though you have officially arrived now, we know your winds are restless and change on whim. While your warmth and promise...
After a long blogging hiatus and much introspection, I am now writing in a new space. You are welcome to follow the journey at my new blogging home: Seeking The Still.
It seems only right to unveil this blog on the first day of spring. The external world is awakening and I find myself being swept along with it. Spring signifies a rebirth of spirit to me and that is also what I'm seeking with this blog. For the past few years, I have...
