Last night, I was settled in bed, reading, while basking in completing yet another day without holding anyone hostage. It is always a win when I don't owe anyone an amends for being a bitchy, asshole. Anyway, I started to hear thunder. Confused, as there was only a 10...

Can I be honest? Social media is incredibly bossy. Facebook shoves "friends" that I may know at me. LinkdIn is pushing "connections" down my throat because "it is all in who you know". I get it. They are trying to be helpful, but sometimes, it is too much. This week,...

All day yesterday, I felt lighter. I felt at ease with anything that would unfold. There was a little excitement in the air while I waited to hear from Brian. I knew, without a doubt, a job that would give him purpose, was on the horizon. There were several companies...

It's D-day, friends. Five months of waiting has come to this moment. The moment, that by the grace of all that is holy, Brian will be offered a job. Today, is graduation day from the vocational training that he has, not only participated in, but crushed it. Is it a...
