There's Magic In Every Day

If you could not tell already, reading is one of the most important things in my life. It allows me to detach from the world and cleanse my mental gears. Many times after I read I actually feel lighter as I walk around as strange as it may seem. In the very near future I will be writing some books on some of my life experiences and many observations and I am very excited about it to say the very least. In my opinion, we all have a story that must be told. The individual uniqueness of our lives is truly fascinating.

I usually tell them that I have to keep my mind clear from the many distractions that are out there because I have big plans for the future.

A simple action with immense power. People hold hands for different reasons at different times and it has become a strong curiosity for me over the years. When someone holds your hand it signifies a connection, a bond, a state of oneness if you will. The nice thing is that if someone does hold your hand in a special way, you will never forget it.
