From April 2 Infinity...

...you give me miles and miles of mountains, and I'll ask for the sea...

"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal."

Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table"

What is faith?

It's the belief in the absence of evidence.

“Be careful who you make memories with. Those things can last a lifetime.”

"Sometimes the girl cries wolf"

Sometimes the hero stumbles

and falls right off of the page,

sometimes the princess rolls her eyes

and says, “I don’t want to be saved.”

Sometimes the dragon needs rescuing

and the villain aches to be helped.

Sometimes, in the darkness,

the lost boy finds himself.

Sometimes the prince is cunning,

and not at all what he seemed.

Sometimes the witch’s kindness

shows it’s she who deserves to be queen.

Sometimes we shouldn’t define people

by someone else’s point of view –

just because it’s what we’ve been told,

doesn’t make it true.

A little love poem.

From my book The Secret Name of Things. Available on Amazon.

Men don't realise that their superpower is safety...The things a woman will do for a man she feels mentally, emotionally and physically safe with, is extraordinary.

I want to be the one who makes you feel safe and loved. Will you let me?
