Breathe

I started writing my book....
This is a novel of normality...Of the mondaine, the ordinary.
What makes me; me. But it also makes you extraodinary. 


Chapter One
Breathe: to draw air into and expel it from the lungs : respire;broadly : to take in oxygen and give      
           out carbon dioxide through natural processes




Breathing  is so underrated . I say this because of the moments in life that seem to make that just stop ... Effortless and profound. Now that does not mean that good things are "about to happening"  But even in the most horrible moments, your breathe is taken away. It is a beginning to a new path. A choice. Where to go from here? Where your true colors show? 
Funny thing is I am looking down, after dying my daughters hair... My hands are stained . I work at a job where appearance is very important. Judged right away. My hands are stained dark brown... Yet all I think is ... I am so glad and honored that my teenaged daughter trusted me enough that I could do it... And that I actually  got to spend  time with her, just her and me. It is these simple moments that make me so proud... Not the goals or the expensive prom dress... But the fact that she trusts me with her looks and believes in me too.




I don't know where this life is taking me but the dusty path behind has quite a few tales I would like to share.
