When in Rome

When in Rome…

Listen on Spotify When the sun rises over Rome, a new city is born. Rome leaves behind her nighttime alter ego and becomes a much different city in the daytime. The tourists come out during the day pointing their cameras at everything that resembles history and the locals try and sell them every trinket under the sun in order to make a euro. Rome welcomes everyone and knows that she will be standing long after both the tourists and even the locals are long gone. Rome is a survivor. When you have been around as long as Rome there is […]

The Power of Magnets

The Power of Magnets

“There’s something I want to show you,” Adi said to me one day.  This is always the way it starts.  Adi discovers something and I become her guinea pig. “We need to start using magnets to help with our healing.” I drank in this statement and nodded my head without saying anything.  Picture Homer Simpson staring blankly back at Marge, and you will get an idea about my state of mind.  Finally, I responded with the only thing I could think to say: “Magnets?” I replied rhetorically.  “Like refrigerator magnets?” “Yes, but there’s more to it than that,” she responded.

Costa Rica Calling (Part 2): Spectacular Beauty Awaits Listen on Spotify! Tomorrow, January 9, 2024, I am elated to announce the release of my new book, Quietude.  A little background on the book:  A few years ago, Adi challenged me to write a book with a female protagonist.  I started this little novella and wrote about 4 chapters before putting it aside until inspiration struck me.

Quietude: A Prologue

The following is an excerpt from my new novella entitled, “Quietude” available on Amazon January 9, 2024. Opening Widsom’s Door ⚛︎ “The quieter you become the more you are able to hear.” Many believed Rumi to be quite simple; in reality, her silence spoke of a wisdom that few understood.  She came into this world a stranger, and she left as a stranger.  It was rumored that she remained in silence for more than five years before eventually ending her fast on the spoken word.  When she finally broke her silence her first words were less than profound. “I’m quite

The Fisherman

The following is an excerpt from my new novella entitled, “Quietude” available on Amazon January 9, 2024. ⚛︎ “The wound is the place where light enters you.” When she was a very young girl, Rumi seldom left her mother’s side.  Rumi simply called her, “Ma.”  On one occasion in her early life, she was separated from Ma in the marketplace of Nazaré amongst the hordes of people trying to buy goods and provisions.  For two hours, she searched for Ma while panic gripped her heart. “Where could she have gone?  Wonder if I never find her again?”  Rumi wondered, torturing
