During all of the time where I walked away from arguments and fights, kept … Continue reading Anger Management

Sometimes, the most important thing I need is silence. Having finished that hellacious read-through, I am glad to be able to be done with it and be able to put it behind me.

Tomorrow is Samhain, which is Halloween for the uninitiated who can't even pronounce what I just said. I've taken some time this week to be quiet, to look deeply within, and to give myself some space. Every year brings a new set of challenges, and I am hoping to embark on happier ones this time … Continue reading The Need For Silence
