The one who reveals

One. After all is said and done, it comes back to one. We can’t wait for others to try to solve the riddle. We can’t wait for someone else to provide the solution. It is time for you. Your time has arrived. Forget the age of the birthday. Ignore the calendar. Totally irrelevant. It is […]

The push to be there

We just pushed ourselves. We simply kept at it. Afterward we met a dear friend for a drink and dinner. We shared stories, good wishes, heart felt thanks for being there for each other and gratitude.
