Twinkle adjusted her aim with the Molotov cocktail to compensate for the eye patch, this blend of hot toddy with bourbon seemed to work best against Santa’s low level sleigh drones he got from Amazon. Her impish smile broadened as … Continue reading

Where am I going?

Pay attention to the places that make you feel calm, places that let your mind wander over big and little questions. Places that set you right in your skin and lighten your step.
