I’m no stranger to the rain…been bushwhacked by heartache and saddled with pain. With you, I spring to life again. Just how you do it is not that important. What matters is that we’re together…that we can make it through any kind of weather. I’m no stranger to the rain…and yet with you I believe […]

Lucas doesn’t know anything different. The arguing…the yelling, it’s not normal but seems to be an everyday occurrence at his house. He internalizes emotions that would be too difficult to feel. Being an only child, there’s really no one to talk to…no one to listen even if he could open up. Lucas believes his stepdad […]

She yearned for time alone with dad. Time to look into eyes that….for so long… were preoccupied with everthing but seeing into hers. Living thousands of miles away, time was drawing short and it seemed that only a miracle could make the time of this trip count. Would HE send an angel to warm the […]

My best tennis happens when: * I limit distractions on the way to the match. Driving slowly, I breathe deeply and enjoy the quiet with no radio or cell phone. I feel relaxed and confident knowing I can sustain this feeling of positive expectancy when the match begins. * I begin the warmup with a […]

Gwyn is a 4.0 league player who loves playing singles for her USTA team. She’s a step or three slower than the twenty somethings recruited by many teams to play their singles spots.

When he is on, it’s like watching Sandy Koufax blowing away opponents with baffling curveballs and scintillating four seam fastballs.

Impressive to her was the doubles play of Martina Hingis and the quickness exhibited by all of the singles players. Heidi is a former dancer so exposing her to ideas relating […]
