Wednesday, March 19, 2008. And I can't fight this feeling anymore.". I tell myself that I can't hold out forever. I said there is no reason for my fear. Cause I feel so secure when we're together. You give my life direction,. You make everything so clear. And even as I wander,. I'm keeping you in sight. You're a candle in the window,. On a cold, dark winter's night. And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might. And I can't fight this feeling anymore. I've forgotten what I started fighting for.

Thursday, April 2, 2015. Take these broken wings…". And learn to fly…". This is my favorite song. This is my favorite version of my favorite song. Sarah McLaughlin's cover of " Blackbird.

The un...

Friday, April 17, 2015. Kindness matters….". In the end,. Only kindness matters.". What we behold - what we focus on, and call another's attention to - matters. Yesterday I was overwhelmed by the volume of unkindness I was observing on Facebook. Sarcastic jokes, cynicism, and outright mean-spiritedness in posts, shared links, and comments. It seemed as if there was a moratorium on basic human kindness. Jewell's " Hands. Came to the rescue again. Cast the first stone." But any sin. It's so easy to...And i...

Tuesday, April 10, 2007. Lord, free me of myself.". Lord, free me of myself. So I can please you.". The above quote from Michaelangelo was shared by Al Pacino when James Lipton questioned him on Bravo's Inside the Actor's Studio about his Academy Award winning performance as the blind, tango-dancing colonel in Scent of a Woman.
