2024-08-01 The Power of Choice
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life it is that I am the ONLY person responsible for my happiness. For support in all the other colors of the rainbow, I will gladly lean on those around me who I can trust in times of need, but for that pesky fleeting golden ticket known as…

2023-09-03 Headed for BIG MOVES, at my own pace…

2018-07-07 He’s Not Wrong
I met up with my friend Josh for a coffee late yesterday. It’s the first time I’ve seen him in weeks… life, you know. With Josh it might be a different day, but the story is always the same.
