A Definition of Romantic
I am the first person to admit that I am not romantic. Yet, I enjoy reading and writing romantic stories. Clearly there is a dichotomy here! Which has led me to ask myself the question…what is my definition of romantic? I have a friend whose husband, when they first met,…

What’s In A Heartbeat?
The heart is one of the two major organs in the body, and one that can stop beating with seeming no notice, or at the very least slow the beating down to an alarming level. Which is what happened to me on 17th June 2025. I have been unusually quiet…
