		<description>&#039;tis a wonder to concur on such a rice trail you have travelled..... when moving around&lt;br&gt;the compass .... you tend to shed some skin.... to make room for the skin you&#039;re about&lt;br&gt;to begin..... Boston is where your flag flies..... but ... at times .... time tends to bleed&lt;br&gt;the color from the lines drawn so very long ago.... but you still carry the glow..... which&lt;br&gt;gets stronger with the flow of the earned runs of Life that you concur as you move &lt;br&gt;around the compass.... but ... Boston is where your tree grows.... it&#039;s roots run deep&lt;br&gt;and I do now that Family dont come cheap.... so ... now,while at the crossroads....&lt;br&gt;with Jack Sparrow&#039;s compass in tow..... you&#039;re gearing up for those next Thousand&lt;br&gt;Miles...... and not knowing which way the wind will take you .... it&#039;s the juice that&#039;s&lt;br&gt;got your amp on..... the rice trail&#039;s got you name on it and it will take wherever you &lt;br&gt;wish to go........ you may be one year younger...... but your light years ahead of your&lt;br&gt;time...... time to fade the fates..... and roll your point......&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;lamesabassman....... &quot; for tomorrow..... never knows...... &#039;cause she ain&#039;t talkin&#039;.....&quot;</description>

		<description>Each day I live is a new day for me. I had some many dreams to fall through. I had people tell me I wasn&#039;t going to make it. Well I am still alive and still dreaming. I stop letting people decide what was best for me a few years back. Life is precious and I am trying to keep it moving...</description>

		<description>I left a job in DC last year for NYC. It was a total leap of faith and I don&#039;t regret it. I love the diversity, access to the arts, the tempo of the city. It has been hard since I freelance. NYC is a total hustle, and that has been a bit disappointing. What keeps me going is that I&#039;m happier now (emotionally, spiritually) than I was in DC. I even started working on the first draft of my book again. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good for you for going to therapy. I support that. If you are into written self-help/explanations of life then look at M. Scott Peck&#039;s &quot;Road Less Travelled&quot; (quick easy read) or Erich Fromm&#039;s &quot;Fear of Freedom,&quot; which I love. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Life is simple. We just make more effort to complicate it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Congrats on the first draft of your book.</description>
