Hi, this blog is a place for me to share and express my thoughts, feelings and experiences. My lifestory has been one with happiness but alot of challenge and sadness too. View this as a kind of commentry/exploration of life to come and all it has to offer... The name comes from the greek words Kuklah Mou meaning 'my doll' or 'baby' - something my family call me.
The important thing to remember is that it is the journey that counts, not the destination..
"Most of our lives are a series of images, they pass us by like towns on a highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever."-Lucas Eugene Scott [One Tree Hill, Season Three]
My posts will be about life, influenced by all the moments and memories that inspire, challenge and touch me..
