How did your year begin? I woke up on New Year's Day with laryngitis and a sore throat that made no sense. I can't tell you the last time I had both happen at the same time. It's been a long, damn time since I've had vocal issues. My voice went from nothing to a … Continue reading It’s All Fun And Games…
Honesty
From One Chapter To The Next
I wanted to pause and take a moment to thank all of you for being here. We live in troubling times and our worlds are fast-paced and driven my headlines and social media. Taking a moment out of your busy day to read whatever it is I have written or shared means so much to … Continue reading From One Chapter To The Next
Don’t Come For What You Don’t Understand
Authors Note: I don't want to write this. It's way too personal, and deeply private, but I feel it is my responsibility to punch this subject matter in the face. I have to speak up.

Experiencing What You Can’t Talk About
Sometimes, we go through something we cannot talk about. Something deeply private and painful. I want to share what I have been through, but it's not entirely my story to tell. To some degree, it is entirely mine, but I'm not selfish. Someone else has a vested interest in this pain, and so, I am … Continue reading Experiencing What You Can’t Talk About
