Finding Joy in the Journey
I don't often venture into the realm of poetry. But sometimes, especially when I'm working through things, I sort of go back to the familiar; back to what started my love of writing and words in the first place.

In case you've missed it the other 586 times I've mentioned it in the past two years...I miss Asheville, NC something fierce.
