AM I THE BULLY, HERE?

I am going to be a bit vulnerable today before I introduce today’s guest.  Her post inspired me to do some of own internal reflecting. I am just now getting back into the swing of working out again.  I could work out at home, and do on occasion, but I hate it.  There is really…

WISDOM’S VOICE

Please take some time to visit C. Burks. Thank you for your endless patience! Written by C.Burks and Hastywords Her knuckles were gnarled Much like that of an aging pine And her whispers whistled With a hollow breezy whine With missing patches of bark Resembling the scars of life Tell the tale of an unbroken…
