Internal Comfort…Part 1

It has been ages since I have last written here. My mind's eye is squinting at some obscure number...1.5 years? Good gracious really? Has it been that long? There has been much prodding and poking from the lovely Cara Martin and the wonderful people at CSO to see if...

Tons of unfinished thoughts

It's been a long time; way too long. I've been thinking about, planning, and have written posts, but I haven't followed through on execution. And, in large, this is what this post is about. There are times when things get put off. It's inevitable with college....

Yeah it's a bit past T-Day..

...but I don't think any of us needs a day to give thanks. I must say I am thankful for all things here - from my freedom of speech to the fact that my mom calls me every day [yes every day haha]. I would shed some light on my past and tell you why I'm thankful for...
