Secrets
Coward
I wake up from a truly restless sleep. Away from my family. I stare up into the ceiling in the dark room and try to calm myself down. My heart is beating faster than normal and as I try to steady my breathing, I suddenly feel like throwing up when I think about the day ahead of me.

One Mistake That Ruins All Your Efforts On The Spiritual Path
We all want to know how to accelerate our spiritual growth. There are obviously some good principles to work with. Doing one’s best to remain present. Observing one’s thoughts and feelings. Remaining humble in front of life. Feeling grateful and accepting of whatever life shows us. And so on.

The Letter of Q
Introduction When I was 12 years old Animal Planet created a TV show called “Finding Bigfoot.” The series followed a team of “bigfoot field researchers” as they travelled across America in search of a species of giant bipedal apes that apparently roam the nation’s forests undetected by science or well functioning cameras. My siblings and I shared a good laugh when we first came across a preview for it. The sight of a grown man yelling into the woods and hoping that a mythical creature would yell back was really quite funny.

Letters To Exes Past And Myself, Finished With A Letter From My Husband
From the diary under my bed. In chronological order from 2015… Dear Saddest Violin Playing The Saddest Song, Ordinary thinkers are trapped by their inability to forgive. Extraordinary thinkers are constantly renewed and released by forgiveness. All freedom begins in forgiveness. All forgiveness begins in the mirror. Our time on this earth is too short. Our Universe is large. I refuse to waste my opportunity with anger and victimhood. Nothing cleanses like forgiving. Nothing releases like forgetting.

I am not a Daddy's girl
Secret Out When I was a very young girl, I wondered why my dad didn't love me the way he loved my little sister. He would pick her up and play with her(spinning her around and around). He had a cute name for her. When he saw her, the biggest smile would appear on his face. She was the center of his joy. He would do anything for her.

Learning that Diamonds are made under pressure!
The first memory I have of yearning to move out from my country was due to the precious moments on stage while I was learning to sing, dance & act. We used to do different versions of Broadway musicals like Annie, Cats & 42nd street. The happiness experienced made me believe that one day I could work making a living with this passion.

For All The Things I Never Said
I grew up in a culture where if one was not physically hurt, then one had no valid reason to complain or cry. At very young ages we were conditioned to bear this burden. Our parents did it, so did our grandparents; the line of emotional suppression is so long I believe it naturally became part of our genetic makeup.

To Protect My Relationship, I Had To Stand Up In Court and Defend Myself
“If you wish to be a good writer then write as if nobody will ever read your stories”. Stupidly I followed the advice that led me straight into a courtroom and cost me all my savings. But most importantly, it nearly cost me my relationship with my stepson.
