Walking through life with eyes and heart wide open
In 2001, I began writing to document an up-coming trip to Italy. My purpose, at that time, was to communicate my experience and memories for not only myself but also family and friends. Today, much of my life is changed. I walk a different path. I am retired. I am older. I am at a different place in my life. Writing has become both a creative outlet and a method for introspection. I am focused on becoming a better person and live life to the edges. I have become less focused on what I have and more on who I am. I have a heart and mind full of experience, desires and love. I promise to do my best to be open, raw and insightful. In the words of Robert Frost …
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
