      <image:title>Blog - Creative Inspiration - Sitting on the floor. The couch behind me and the scattered pages of my next potential writing project in front of me.</image:title>
      <image:caption>“This is ridiculous…” I groan to myself, leaning back into the couch. I've been staring at these pages for what feels like days and I’m still blocked.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Cup of Tea - “What are you thinking, love?”</image:title>
      <image:caption>he asks, lounging on the couch, with slight concern in his eyes as they roam my face. “Trying to read my thoughts again?” I say with a bit of a sad smile. In our home, our sanctuary, I don’t have to hide myself and neither does he. We have learned each other well enough to know when to push and when to allow the space needed to come to a place where words can be said and felt. In response to my answer he frowns slightly. “What do you need love? Where did you just go?” he asks softly, sitting up a bit to show that he is here and attentive.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - We met in a Bookstore - “Hey, What can I get started for you?”</image:title>
      <image:caption>I take one more quick glance at the menu and decide to order my go-to favorite. “I’ll have a medium mocha latte, please, with almond milk if you have it.” “Sure, I’ll have that for you in a moment” The barista responds with a smile. “Thanks” I say back, paying for the drink. I step to the side where the handing sign says ‘Order Pick-Up’, allowing for other customers to place their own orders of caffeine infused sugary beverages.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Letters - From a Traveler- Rome</image:title>
      <image:caption>The silence was deafening. Like the roar from the ancient crowds are still echoing through time. Vibrating the stone. A building that was given to the masses as a gift from the emperor in 18 AD. One that was used to control and create a spectacle for entertainment.</image:caption>
