Launch anew

He thanks them profusely for … Continue reading Launch anew

Between the Covers

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Eileen does not want to be in Chapter 1 ….she’d rather appear a little late when Morris has committed mistakes and she has an opportunity to change his life, that is if he is willing to mend his ways.

Cold mountain

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Mountains are designed to be cold. They make me feel dwarfed and inconsequential. Then, I pity their immobility. I’m blessed with flexibility to move, change my position, escape from things I don’t like.  Yet, mountains intimidate. They drop a rock here and there to demonstrate power. The uncertainty dwarfs my mindset again.  I’d like to … Continue reading Cold mountain
