Well, since it’s SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY and there is FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL on and there was CHILI… ok, since you get the point with what my Sunday has been filled with I think it’s time to get on with the show. I wanted to know what songs I’ve listened to the most so I checked [...]

Today is a day when people are celebrating TWLOHA which is a rather funny looking acronym for the real name of the movement: To Write Love On Her Arms. It’s dedicated to helping those who struggle with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. People who struggle with that need to know so many things not the [...]

What in the world have I been doing that keeps me from tending to my poor, neglected blog? Hunting for sharks with a paper clip and a piece of string a la MacGuyver, of course! You know me better than that. This isn’t a confession post. In fact, I’m thinking of this as more of [...]

Generally speaking, life is pretty happy for me. A few years ago I remember making the decision to be joyful. Willfully joyful. Basically, I was going to choose joy every single day.
