Mamas Soup
When you think of your favorite dish you more than likely have certain memories attached to it. Memories of other times you’ve had that particular dish, memories of the people and places you shared that meal with that will from then on hold a special place in your heart. For me that one dish is ‘Greek Soup’ or Avgolemeno, served with hot crusty slices of bread with butter melted between the slices and a nice green salad. This recipe has been passed down from generation to generation on my mother’s side. I remember sitting at home surrounded by family at the table as a child and teen. It was a comfort food that was hearty yet light. I remember watching my mother adding cracked pepper and tempering and adding the egg whites. I remember my niece having her first bowl, which had been made with less lemon incase it was to strong for her, which I guess it wasn’t since she decided my bowl tasted better.

2021 A Year to Mend
It’s one of the biggest celebrated clichés. Every year millions upon millions of people around the world gather to make New Year’s Eve resolutions at the start of the year, only to do something even more cliché by breaking them the first chance they get. The majority of these resolutions often relating to health, wealth or some major life goal.

Past Future
At the age of ten, this poem manifested itself to me one night when I was trying to sleep, go figure. I wouldn't even go as far as to say I created it. I've never examined what it really meant but have always been wary of sharing it for fear of making me sound like an alarmist. It was just, there, fully formed and wouldn't let me go until I had written it down. Not that I needed to, I've remembered it for over 23 years.
