The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World by Laura Imia Messina
This story is heart-ripping and amazing. There’s quite a lot of tragedy but by the time you reach the end of the story, you will be glad that you’ve read it. This is a book you will think about for a long time after you’ve finished it. The “Wind Phone” exists in real life and that gives…

Morning? Night? Neither.
Morning or night? It depends on what it is I have to do at the time. If it is to spend time with my husband, I am an anytime person. If I have to go to work and I really do like my job, I am a morning person. If it is a lunch date…

Be Real
I see red when a human puts on a fake air. It is difficult to explain but you know it when you see it. They try too hard to come across as they think you want to see them. Often they say things that they think you want to hear instead of telling you the…

Grudge? Well….
Are you holding a grudge? About? I can hold grudges. I try not to hold on to negative things, but sometimes I catch myself complaining about past hurts. I say to myself, “Wait a minute, maybe I didn’t actually let that one go.” To hold a grudge is to be human. To forgive is divine.…
