The warm summer breeze, oh how it gets to me The small winding road leads to distant memories The innocence of it all so wild and free Same dock, same view, same sun different you Change comes along in the most unexpected ways Constantly longing for it while wishing things stayed the same Time takes you further and further away, What once was, no longer remains unchanged A moment away in another place, another time Lost in a world that once made you feel alive Inaudible movie flashing before your eyes Glimpse of a smile as you go back in time Remembering, feeling, reminiscing The present a reminder the past no longer there Sound of the waves softly washing up shore Each tide descending back like memories come and go Rhythmic and gentle, comforting and hopeful They say you always go back to where it all began Same dock, same view, same sun Same you B.M

Their menu is filled with nutritious raw and vegan food and you can literally smell the freshness of the food. I got their Super Salad which was spring mix and spinach, roasted beets, carrots, cucumber, sweet potato, avocado, mixed with balsamic vinaigrette dressing, sprinkled …

The paintbrush we desperately try to control, altering our destiny.  No direction, no knowledge of the outcome, but hoping that we create something flawless. Each an artist, envisioning our own unique masterpiece. Our creation inevitably on display for the world becomes susceptible to judgment and criticism. We strive for perfection only to realize that the imperfections create the most beautiful paintings. Staring at the world around, comparing our own canvas to another’s, forgetting that we all have a different pallet within our reach. Each riveting colour resembling every concealed emotion. Each jagged and straight line indicating the chosen paths we’ve taken. Every faint stoke, every definite movement all slowly bringing the imperfectly blurred vision from within us of our goals and dreams into the tangible reality of our passion. A masterpiece – like no …
