Like throwing darts at the board and seeing what sticks, I’ve been trying to write a little note for you all.  I’ve written several times about how on the surface things can seem wonderful but beneath it, things are far from well.  I become so overwhelmed with life that I do think of checking out.  … Continue reading Writer’s Block

I'll admit that I choose not to stay current in politics. I cannot handle knowing all that is wrong with this world. I think that this is one instance where knowledge is crippling.
