My beautiful friend, Megan of Your Spirit Sparkle and Peace in My Mind posted this message in her Facebook group this morning: “This is a world of paradoxes. You can feel hate and love for the same person or life circumstance. You can feel joyous and sad at the same time. Know that the cycles you experience are part of life.

I’ve loved the art of written word and the art of photography, for as long as I can remember.
