I've been all over the world. I've had tremendous experience of going city to city, country to country, and continent to continent. In all my travels I've never lost my way. I've never been separated from my travel companion. And I have never been left behind. But here we are. I find myself in this… Continue reading Passport to Travel

The Bookcase
She quietly pushed open the door and peeked through the crack. The room was empty, only lit by candles in sconces lining the walls. Signing in relief she pushed the heavy oak door open just further enough to allow her to slip her body through. Once in the room, still gripping the door, she very… Continue reading The Bookcase
The Tanned Man
The smell of coconut filed the air. Bodies of every shape and size passed by the hut. Skin colors ranged from deep browns to bright reds. The two young girls looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Each time new people arrived in Honolulu you'd see sunburnt skin for days as they spent far… Continue reading The Tanned Man
The Forest
She walked slowly through the trail, taking in every breathtaking moment. It was the first walk through the trail since the snow had melted away and the path dried up enough to start hiking along again.The trees were lush and green again.

Resort Life
We giggled and laughed wandering through the pathway to the beach lined with local greenery. We stopped a moment to watch as an employee of the resort climbed his way up a tall tree with a large machete. Three hard chops into the wood and down toppled three green little balls. The three of us… Continue reading Resort Life
The Painting
Stepping into the open room, my eyes fall immediately to the beautiful glossy piano sitting in the middle of the room. I walk forward, almost being pulled towards the instrument by an unseen force.I slide my hand along the top of the piano and my fingers glide over the keys. I sit down on the… Continue reading The Painting
The River
She wandered down the stone path that led from the cottage down to the riverbank. Her sandals making a muted flip-flop as she walked along. A brown dog zigged and zagged in front of her, looking over his shoulders to ensure she was still following behind him. They reached the edge of the trail where… Continue reading The River
My Favorite Room
I found myself in my bedroom, sun shining in through the window. I was excited, getting ready to come to the first night of creative writing class. I felt a bit nervous, a knot in my stomach as I wasn't sure what to expect. Would I be late? Would I be the only one in… Continue reading My Favorite Room
