Favorite Quote:
"Never let the fear of striking out hold you back" - Babe Ruth


Sometimes you just have to step back...
Look at life through the clear irises of the open minded,
yet to be cracked by the whispers that dance from painted lips.

Sometimes you just have to take a breath...
Find an aroma that’s not filled with broken hearts or lost dreams,
to clear for a moment the seas of uncertainty that dwell in your mind.

Sometimes you just have to close your eyes…
Forget about the dirtied mirrors of the past,
burn away the skeletons taunting you with withered hopes from the depths of the closet.

Step back…
Take a breathe...
Close your eyes.

Look…
Find…
Forget.

Sometimes taking one step back will send you two steps forward.
