This website is to share my writings and poetry and also to hear your insights about our crazy journeys around the sun. I have survived both a major spinal injury and cancer, and live through gratitude.Now, relax, enjoy the poetry, and y'all play nice with each other! Our life journey is crazy, but better when we travel together.
