I need writing in my life just as much as I need air at this point. I hate it when real life gets in the way of my writing. Anyway, now that this week is finally behind me, let’s talk about the inspiration for this entry. Allow me to give you another glimpse of Earth to Ash which is brought to you by our good friend… STRESS!

Here’s a little taste of my home for ya…enjoy!!!

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. – Aristotle

Admiring you from afar is like staring at the stars; beautiful to look at, yet too hard to reach.
