Somewhere in the distance between you and I lies my past.
My knowledge through experience.
My steps through adversity.
My growth through challenge.
Somewhere in the distance between you and I lies my hope.
My dreams without boundary.
My faith without doubt.
My determination without fear.
Somewhere in the distance between you and I lies my destiny.
My heart ignited by passion.
My mind clarified by vision.
My future driven by purpose.
It’s a new day!

More than a feeling
Its truest form eternal
Mind, Heart, Soul aligned

I dislike politics. Actually, let me rephrase. I despise politics. I don’t care what side of the fence you fall on or if you’re comfortable getting a major wedgie from sitting in the middle.
We live in a representative democracy, but who do our politicians actually represent? They certainly don’t represent you or me. They represent their party. I have no confidence that any of our politicians would do something because they actually believe in it. There are lobbyists and party pressure and a whole host of other factors that play into decisions – none of which touches on whether or not it’s actually the right thing to do.
We do need politics. It is a check and balance system, but the system is so polluted with egos, ulterior motives and a complete lack of respect that betting on a fist fight at the next congressional gathering may actually have some good Vegas odds. :-/
It’s a new day!

Though we are smack dab in the middle of summer, I can feel it coming – the cooler breezes, the smell of pumpkin spice, the taste of hot apple cider, the decorative red, orange and yellow leaves. I am already anticipating Autumn. Everything just seems better come September.
It’s a new day… just a little too hot.

Once upon a time we were friends.
We hung out, watched stupid movies and talked without end.
But through a chain of unknown events, you have changed your mind.
No more talking, no more laughing, nothing of the kind.
You’ve assumed an awful lot and let others influence your thought
You never even asked me what was truth and what was not.
So now we’re left with nothing which is fine for you I see
But letting go of friends is not an easy thing for me.
Your wish is my command and you’ll never hear from me again
But it’s a tragedy since once upon a time we were friends.
