Some stories make us smile. Others stay with us long after the final page.

Take your time. Read slowly. You may discover something that feels familiar.

A Note to you
I have always believed that the quietest moments can carry the most meaning.
The stories and poems in this collection explore the feelings we do not always express—the people we remember, the chances we nearly took, the courage we find when it is needed and the hope that sometimes arrives when we least expect it.
I hope you find something here that moves you, comforts you or simply encourages you to pause for a while.
