Too many health issues. And when I have I've kinda been writing a book. So, I've been hanging out on… Continue reading Why I Still Love Social Media

I’ve Found A Resolution I Can Keep For 2017

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” ~ Audre Lorde Okay, so I know that I said this time last year that I didn't think January was the right time to be making resolutions, that we should all maybe think about postponing them to 1st… Continue reading I’ve Found A Resolution I Can Keep For 2017

What I’ve Been Reading v.II

"We read to know that we are not alone." ~ C.S.
