Yesterday I read a book called “Chasing Fireflies” by Charles
Martin. It was wonderfully written, an engaging and exciting
story, and it broke my heart more than once. It also raised
some intriguing questions – one that I’d like to process here

I got the job! I get to stay at Children’s Hospital for an indeterminate length of time, doing a job I enjoy, and having purpose. It is like the weight of the world has been briefly lifted from my shoulders.

For some people it is watching “America’s Next Top Model,” for others it is their complete collection of Whitesnake albums. Ice cream, Godiva chocolates, Halo 3, etc. For me – it is [...]

I’m not much of a blogger, really. I express myself better face-to-face or through my poetry. There will be a lot of poetry here. I’ll also try to keep a book list up to date with what I’m reading. And as easy as this wordpress thing is – it’ll take me a while to figure [...]
