Exploring a forest with Brandy in the early fall morning is what I would call my Zen moment. In the forest the only sounds are those of the Squirrels chattering and Birds singing. For a moment I don't notice the pain in my right knee or the constant throb and ringing in my head. Together... Continue Reading →
