Published on March 18, 2013 By JoanK

Love through the Looking Glass I drummed up enough courage to look at myself in the mirror.  I looked and saw…her.  This person so familiar, yet oftentimes, so distant.  I yearned to reach out.  Then, ever so timidly, I said, “I could easily fall in Love with you.” She said, “Thank you;  and will you [...]
