I walked into the restaurant; it was one of my favorites, sitting directly on the beach, you could smell the salt water, sunscreen and of course, the boiled crabs. I looked around, admiring all of the décor with the wood plank walls, the fish netting hanging from the ceiling and the pictures of whales all over the walls. I just love whales; they are the most majestic creatures. Finally, I pull my eyes from my surroundings and search for the person I have come here to meet. I am so nervous; it has been forever and a day since we have seen eac...

Contains Domestic Abuse:Whispers In the WindA cool breeze slides across my skin, my body trembles involuntarily and goosebumps form. What a beautiful moment, it almost makes you think there is nothing wrong in the world. But the truth of the matter is that there is nothing right in the world. Not in my world anyway. I cannot believe that he did this to me. What had I ever done to deserve this? Nothing, that’s what. All I had ever done was love him, Spencer Carpenter, the man of my dreams, or so I thought. I remember the first time I ever saw...

Do I Have a Gift?I have been told since I was a very young age that I have the gift….but do I really? Is this the person that I really am or is it all a coincidence? My mom told me that as a little girl I used to cry at night for her to come make the people in my room leave. One in particular that I remember is a lady in a green velvet dress with a huge green hat on her head and Peacock feathers sticking out. For some reason she had one of those metal tea cups in her hand, you know the kind you see in western movies that cowboys drink out of...

I couldn’t see anything, but I could smell everything. It smelled like must, mothballs, tea and garbage all at once and something else I barely recognized because it is new to me, a swampy smell. Where was I? How did I end up here? Slowly my sight began to clear, it was dark but my eyes were adjusting quickly now. I was laying on an old, hard, wooden floor on my side, as I try to move I realize that my hands are tied behind my back and my feet are tied at the ankles. Strangely, though, I have a pillow under my head and I am covered with a wo...

I remember the first time I saw your face, those big beautiful brown eyes staring at me. It was like looking into the eyes of someone I had known and loved forever. My soulmate! Have you ever had that feeling? The feeling that you have lived multiple lifetimes with one person? It’s like a jolt of lightning coursing through your body sending electricity flowing through your veins, causing the room to blur around you. We were at the house of a mutual friend, you were sitting on the couch just watching TV when I walked in. Our eyes met and imme...
I Know How He Feels It wasn’t until much later after our relationship that I remembered the very first time I saw you. My eighth grade class from St. Cecilia was taking a trip to St. Thomas More High School for a tour as a possible landing place for our freshman year. Walking through the main lobby I heard someone hollering “are you coming Bip?” That is what drew my attention to you, when my head spun around to see who the recipient of this ‘hollering’ was. I was unprepared for what I saw; you, standing in the library doorway picking up a pe...

Out of the Shadows It’s funny how you can lose yourself without even knowing who you are and how you can find yourself when you are lost. I was so young, around 17 when Ryan and I met. I was rebounding from the heartache of losing my first love. But a new year was about to begin, literally. My friend Darcy and her boyfriend Grant were going out for New Year’s Eve, Grant’s friend Ryan had recently moved back from out of town and didn’t know many people so they asked me to join them, on a blind date with Ryan. I was in a bad place at the time...
