Favorite Quote:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.


I take my place on the track
Ahead of me, the distance I have to run
A shot is fired, the race begins
My heart is racing with anticipation

I grab the baton and run with the wind
The first steps dig, until I find my pace
I cross the finish line, with a fulfilling grin
I look up, thankful and praying to place

Dia de los muertos is what inspired this poem. I love their optimistic look on ending this life and moving on to our second.
