A beautiful villa

What a wonderful villa, as she smiled to herself. Is it all for me, for a week and a half? But no, just a couple of rooms at the top. Still, that’s fine, as she climbed up the outside steps, while lugging her big bag and her rucksack.

Chris Hall and 1 other person liked Li's review of Haiku for Soulmates:
Haiku for Soulmates by Literary Revelations
"I chose to read a few poets (1 page of 5 poems per poet) a day. How each describes their impressions of soulmates is emotionally intense, which, for me, can overwhelm in a single reading. I was impressed by the variations of how these talented poets " Read more of this review »
Halfsoul by Susanne  Schmidt
"This is a well-written, entertaining find for lovers of truly EPIC epic fantasy. Not a short or quick read by any measure, if that's what you're looking for, but an immersive one in a world where many different forces, both human and supernatural, ar" Read more of this review »

“Our greatest creation is our selves. The way we cultivate our appearance and behavior. And nowhere is our artwork more apparent than in our own minds. They way we each have an idea of self. The one perfect self we've chosen by rejecting all other options.”

Nelson Mandela
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom
