Wishing you a more prosperous HAPPY NEW YEAR! The Pandemic continues into 2021! If the beginning date is March 10, 2020, then today is Day 297 of week 43! Wow! So much has happened! We are living in a wave of time that ebbs and flows with history being made all around. We are experiencing it first hand, for better or for worse. Nevertheless, as writers, we must continue to tell our stories of life as we see and experience them. I am on a quest to refine my skills in the fine art of finding simple abundance in life, a moment to be thankful, or just a moment to connect. I want to share these moments no matter what size, shape, or form they take. In doing so, perhaps I may help others to do the same. I encourage you to tell your story, for no one else will ever be able to tell it the way you can. I hope you join me on this journey on the edge of the Pandemic of 2020 as we move into 2021. Thank you for taking the time to read my work. Take care of yourself, keep writing, and enjoy your gift of life! ~Journey Rose ~

Alex's Journey Beyond Everyday

"We're rarities, you know that?" "We?" "People like you and me. People who can figure out how to live out here, alone, free. Or not just how to live, but how to thrive."

She has a family to take care of, a name and a reputation to uphold, a complicated life to keep up with. Disappearing is out of the question. But sometimes she wonders if she can leave it all behind. ... Eliot Ward wants to be found, but not by someone else. He needs to discover his own mind, and staple down all the loose edges. He wants peace and quiet in his head, to drown out every other sound but the pounding of his drums. He needs a break from his hectic world, to find himself in a mess of jumbled thoughts. But being lost might just be the solution. ... Two teens, at odds with the world. They must learn, not only how to live, but how to thrive. But first, they have to figure out how to build a fire.

A book of poetry I have written along my journey of healing from abuse and trauma. I hope this book inspires you, just as writing has inspired me all my life. Don't forget to spread the awareness, abuse happens, it is real, survivors are the victims, the abusers are to blame. We are thrivers and we deserve to be heard.
