Kaleidoscope Life

Blessed with a colorful imagination and a tendency to analyze life from various perspectives; I have decided to share some of my observations, memories and impressions through my writings.

Within this blog, you will find poetry, articles and short stories about my life, and the people and places that have touched, added to, taken from, molded and made my life a unique Kaleidoscope.

Some names and places may be changed or vaguely referenced to protect the innocent. And for those who may recognize themselves, please know I hold no grudges; it is your interaction in my life that has made me who I am today; whether that is good or bad is up to the reader.

Perhaps you will relate, in some way, to these glimpses into my Kaleidoscope Life. Feel free to comment on what you read. I simply ask that you refrain from using profanity; the English language is full of adjectives and adverbs that you can use to describe your thoughts and feelings without being vulgar.

With that being said, I open to you my Kaleidoscope Life
