Written expressions of the journey of loving one, through words. A collection of thoughts of sorts.

Life is for living and it starts with a single step (or a smack on the butt in the delivery room). And these steps lead to events and experiences that inevitably shapes who we are, who we become. They create our identities, shape our mindset, cultivate our beliefs and influence our choices. Do they? Do we know who we are? This is my attempt to retrace those steps, so as to rediscover who I am, to explore my past and present and hopefully, through the process, find new light on 'me'. Allow me to take you on this journey. And perhaps, just perhaps, you will rediscover yourself too. A story of stories. A narrative written through my memories.

What would you give to be able to erase your history, to start your life over with a clean slate? For some, this is the stuff of dreams, but for one woman that reality is laced with fear and uncertainty. Building a new life becomes infinitely harder as events from her past start to weave themselves into the present. In a journey that will turn her whole world upside down for a second time, uncovering the truth poses more questions than it gives answers, as she fights to fully understand what happened. Meanwhile, strength & support comes from unexpected places as she fights to remember. ********************************** Copyright © 2015 by Lou Moran. All rights reserved.

When Helena finds a phone on the night train, she decides to text the first number in the list of contacts in order to figure out who it belongs to. ***** Helena Santos hasn't had the easiest life. At twenty-one, she's the legal guardian of her teenage sister, in the final year of her nursing degree, and working night shifts at her small-town's local bar. And things get a lot more complicated when she finds a phone on the train home and decides to text the first number in the list of contacts, in hopes of tracking down its owner. That contact? Adam Bauer; the charismatic, sweet, and refreshingly honest older brother of the person who lost their phone. As the two continue talking, they can't ignore the chemistry and growing feelings between them, but life is never that simple. To make things work, Helena and Adam need to juggle a troubled sister, a meddlesome ex-boyfriend, and one fat lawsuit - all intent on keeping them apart.
