"Scars are souvenirs you never lose" Never has that line meant so much to me. Never did it ring more true. And while they may fade over time, and may not always be visible to others, my scars are a constant reminder to me. "The past is never far" At first I counted days gone …
Life After Brain Surgery
A week ago my family was all meeting up at a parking garage outside of University of Maryland Medical Center Baltimore, gathering our belongings necessary for the long day ahead, and rushing inside to get to where I needed to be by my 5:30 appt time. Sadly, the hospital sent us on a long run …
Brain Mush
Hey guys. So I'm like 18 days away from brain surgery and my brain is just a mess. We already know my nerves are bad, hence the reason for the surgery. But lately, between the chronic pain, planning for surgery, and the fear and anxiety that go with it, my brain is total mush. I …

Kismet? Or Something Else?
Mesmerized by his eyes and the dark side that he hides. His words, like honey, flow through my brain. Sweet and full of substance. Never an empty word. He fills the spaces with thoughts to ponder. He sends my mind reeling to another dimension. I become a dreamer and find myself mystified by his nature. …
Reflections
While exploring WordPress, I came across a lovely blog, Rigpa, and blogger by the name of Mitesh Jain. I found this questionnaire and wanted to answer the questions and share with all of you so that you may do the same. I felt that the questions allow us the opportunity to reflect on our pasts …
I’ve Got Nothing
Hi guys. It's been a little while. I'm trying to write everyday, but as you can probably guess, most of it is in a journal and not published here. I am still trying to figure out what I want to say. And I've got nothing. My computer crashed last week. It felt like someone lopped …
