Book Excerpt
Eternal FlameJust when you thought it was all fizzled out.
It only takes one spark to reignite.It may peek up through the cracks. Reforming when you don’t even know what is going on. Molding and shaping the structure of the here and now.It’s a different future. But you can’t go back. You can only pick up the pieces and rise from the ash. Chase the light, because eventually, it WILL flicker no more. Seize that passion and watch the embers fly up and away while grabbing hold of what the fire has brought you through. YOU matter!! This moment matters!!
