Day 7
I am so very sad today. Not because of who is my President. I alone can’t control that. I am not even sad about the crazy behavior at the US capitol. We, Americans have been known as rebel rousers since the beginning. Even with our reputation of anachronism, we are Americans first. I have always…

Don’t Settle
I know that sometimes the comfortable situation is not the right situation. Do not stay in a place or with a person just because it is comfortable and familiar. I know there is logic in the devil you know theory. You know how to act and how the other will respond. You know how to…
