Pain happens. Not because of some karmic debt we have to pay. Not because we need to be tested. And certainly not because we need to be taught compassion and empathy. That last reason makes the least sense to me. It’s usually presented like this: “God wants you to learn how to be kind and […]
Yesterday I went to my first book launch party. The party wasn’t for one of my books. If that would have been the case, I would have been too drunk today to write a blog post. Something like that would have been a huge cause of celebration and, in true Romanian style, I would have […]
Another beautiful poem from Souldier Girl. Slivers by Souldiergirl I love you and I don’t know why With all this grief My heart keeps tight …a sliver of light And I think… If I keep this slender sliver on repeat …I will be alright I love you and I don’t know why I remember […]
