If you've found yourself here it's probably because you know and seek the pleasure of INSPIRATION. (ORIGIN Middle English (in the sense ‘divine guidance’): via Old Frenchfrom late Latin inspiratio(n-), from the verb inspirare (see inspire). 

My goal in creating this space is to offer a mirror, a reflective image of my own AUTHENTICITY so that you, too, can see your own. (ORIGIN late Middle English: via Old French from late Latin authenticus, from Greek authentikos ‘principal, genuine.’) 

A great teacher of mine once said, shortly before passing, "It's all about happiness. Life is all about HAPPINESS. That's all it is!"(ORIGIN Middle English (in the sense ‘lucky’): from the noun hap-y1.) 

I have contemplated this for a few years now, sometimes doubtingly. My conclusion: why not act as if this is true? As a result my life has changed dramatically. Everyday I have a choice to explore life as a MIRACLE (or not). (ORIGIN Middle English: via Old French from Latin miraculum ‘object of wonder,’ from mirari ‘to wonder,’ from mirus ‘wonderful.’) 

I seek this miracle of living in my writing, and not by excluding that which is difficult, challenging, ugly, crude, or ruinous. I live by the map of my heart. I imagine, that because you are here, you do too.
