Do you remember where you were 20 years ago? Perhaps you were getting married to the love of your life, and today was your big day filled with laughter, family, and friends. Or maybe you were still a child and you remember playing in your inflatable pool on a hot day. Or riding your bike …
It’s Times Like These…
I’ve had a ton on my mind these last few months and to elaborate more on a recent Facebook post, I decided to blog my feelings. This post may ramble a bit and it will be messy. But, hey, feelings are messy. They’re complicated. They’re uncomfortable. They’re honest. And they’re mine. Here goes... To say …
The Fire

Her Most Romantic Evening
It’s a Friday evening in early summer. The sun is setting, radiating vibrant pink and orange hues. It’s a warm, beautiful evening…the perfect setting for a romantic date night. She anxiously waits for this moment all day. You’ve spent the last couple of weeks exchanging messages to get to know her better and finally set …
Netflix and What?!
I’m sporting my favorite Wonder Woman pajamas, tucked snuggly beneath my fleece Jack Skellington snuggy. I mean blanket. It’s a blanket. Okay, okay. It’s a snuggy. A cup of hot coffee is planted on the nightstand with cream and honey, of course. I’m munching on my breakfast toast smothered in blackberry jam. My computer is …
Recharging Batteries
It’s finally here. I’m currently listening to Paul Cardall on Pandora. The blissful tinkering of the keys on the piano puts me in a peaceful trance.

The Watermelon Dance
It’s 30 minutes until noon. I am currently sitting here on the patio swing at my Aunt’s house, enjoying the peace and tranquility. The sky is a bright, baby powder blue, and the air is crisp and cool. The sun is shining over the various planted fruit trees and potted purple and yellow flowers. The …

We’re Painting the Roses Red
It was unusually quiet except for the occasional airplane pings. I just awoken from my slumber thinking I was closer to my destination. I checked the time on my phone. “I should have landed by now,” I thought to myself. Did I just enter the Twilight Zone? I half expected to look over and see …
Tiny Dancer
It was 7:20 A.M. EST, December 30th. I stared out my window, already exhausted from being up since half past three. Outside, it was still dark with the exception of the twinkling orange runway lights. Fighting back tears, I became aware that this was the last time I’d see Knoxville for a while, the city …
