Why do I Blog?
After a year of trying to rediscover who I was, I decided to start blogging. I was nervous and very insecure about the process. Did I have a voice? Would anyone want to read what I had to say? Fear swept in and I put off the process for a while.
Closer to the Storm
A lot can happen in 48 hours. The clouds have gotten heavy and the winds have started to blow. Instead of being alone though, Carl now has four other dogs and a cat to keep him company.

Transferring the Heart from One to Another- A Good Hug
It was like a need was being met by transferring the heart of one to another.

Without a Rudder or a Sail
Carl appeared to have control as he walked with his head held high leading the way through the neighborhood. It wasn’t until he encountered a cat that he realized that he wasn’t able to break free and pounce on his arch enemy. Instead of being in control, Carl realized that he could only go asContinue reading “Without a Rudder or a Sail”
