Real life, raw emotion
One of my mentors told me, “Write it down, Ciara. Keep a journal and write down the stories, the pain, the heartache, and the trial. Write it down or you will forget it.”

Ocean interlude
You have always loved the ocean. Most often, you have enjoyed its great expanse as you walk along the beach, the warm sand between your toes.
