It's honestly a little scary putting myself out there on YouTube. But I know that there's my inner spark, my spirit, that I will always keep sacred to myself.

Victoria Has Been Found!
I received a phone call from Mila this evening. Her daughter Victoria has been found! Mila described Victoria's appearance as "skin and bones, like she was held in a concentration camp."

Walking Uphill Backwards
I saw Jethro Daniels coming up the hill towards me while I waited for him at the top on the side of the road. At first I saw a tiny silhouette at the bottom of the steep hill vaguely shaped like a man, a cart, and a dog. As he got closer, I realized that … Continue reading Walking Uphill Backwards
