I Have Questions and I Need Answers

You’ll Think I’ve Lost My Mind

Since I have some time to kill before rushing out the door to work I am comfortably seated at my kitchen table with my coffee, morning vitamins, and my laptop. Of course, my brain is already whooshing around in my head, but I promised to answer more of the questions so this isn’t so much [...]

The “Outing” Debate

There’s not much that stumps me in my job and I’ve embraced humility enough to know that I don’t always know the answers to the complicated messes that introduce themselves to me like a stranger at the grocery store. “Oh, hello.
