Pitfall Trap
Ten feet deep in the snowy ice-covered earth of northern Pennsylvania lay bones of all sizes. All entangled, and some buried beneath damp dying leaves in an almost ancient-looking pit trap. Two men stood by the edge of the large square hole, looking down.

Wealth Through Stupidity
Steve had always been told good things come in threes. Bad things too, for that matter. But especially good ones; his grandfather had always made sure he found three coins if he found one, even if the last was behind his ear.

Why Men Pull Away
Maggie was confused. Rick had blown her away on their first two dates. No guy had ever worked so hard to impress her. And impressed she was. He was attentive, respectful, gentle and engaged.

Here's the deal. My dad used to tell me that he had "sight". And as for the first time I heard him use it... in the context of being wise, having wisdom, I knew exactly what he had meant by that word.

Trust First, Doubt Never
Trust. We begin all relationships with trust. From the moment you enter the world, you are reliant on others to care for you to ensure your survival. Your life is in their hands. Hopefully, they are trust-worthy. No matter how safe you may have been kept, throughout life’s journey, trust is sometimes tested. It can alter your perspective of a love interest and hinder your chance at a healthy relationship.

Ashes to Ashes.
ashes to ashes. Luke pulled his old 4Runner off the barely paved road into a break in the thick evergreen tree line. He’d missed it on the first pass and had to double back. Once he’d made the turn, he could see the memory of a well-worn driveway. He cut the engine and sat, staring through the blanket of fog, but he couldn’t see anything. He got out of the truck, popped the hatch, and considered his gear. He grabbed what he needed, closed the truck, and walked away from the road, up the lane.

Growing up in Grief - Part 3: All Aboard
“It’s been three months, aren’t you over it, yet?!” First off, I have a colourful response that question. An aunt of mine once asked me that. A callous question to ask a fourteen year old kid who just lost her mother. The thirty-something adult writing this today can still taste the sourness that left in my mouth over twenty years ago.

How To Heal
One piece of knowledge I have, that not everyone knows about, is how to repair my body, mind, and spirit. Granted these days the pursuit is more mainstream than when I began my training 25 years ago.

Little Black Book
Suddenly the world felt dark. There I was sitting alone with nothing but this small black notebook to remember him by. Why do we live only to die? Why do we love only to lose? How can this kind of change ever be sweet or accepted by us creatures of habit? I jolted suddenly at the sound of his laughter, but before I had turned around to catch a glimpse of his smile I remembered the reality. There’s no way it could be him. I lifted myself up off the park bench and walked through what now looked to me like a haunted forest, the sun was shining but I felt no warmth. I placed my hand on my heart and attempted to acknowledge my pain tenderly. Today I had lost something and had no idea how I was ever going to get it back.

Mutable Earth
Originally, this was supposed to be part of the "In the Stars" challenge, but due to local time, I just missed the cutoff. Always keep an eye on the closing times for challenges, folks! Anyway, I've invested the time for this, so it's going up anyway...
