She would walk in pompously, and plonk her designer handbag on the table. Her ample … Continue reading Over the Top

Some may nurse wounds of unfulfilled ambition. Yet, the peace of white snow-filled peaks is unbeatable. It holds the enlightenment of truth, after peeling off layers of … Continue reading Autumn
