By Rose DesRochersAs I look back on my life, I realize that everything happens for a reason. I watch the seasons of my life quickly pass me by and I think about how we are born, we live and we die. I think of those so deep in their job that they neglect those around them. They put off calling those they love until tomorrow, but tomorrow never does come and then it’s sadly too late.

By Rose DesRochersIt all started a couple days after Christmas. Store fronts were filled with heart-shaped chocolate boxes, cuddly stuffed animals, and candy hearts with little sayings on them. Some believe that February 14th is the most romantic day of the year, while others are ready to boycott the money making holiday. Forgive me if I decline to enthusiastically join this commercialized

Before we get to the end of this story, where two people go off and live a fairy tale life, I have to tell you that there is no Prince Charming.

She thought that the school was attempting to make clones of the students by having them all the dress alike. She went on to complain that the uniform hid her beautiful form.Silly girl!

By Rose DesRochersHave you experienced an epiphany in your life? When at that very moment your life was altered. For me, my life was altered five years ago.
