Boston Marathon Attack
I’m not sure what to say after what happened yesterday. It seems selfish to talk about myself after the horror that people in Massachusetts have just experienced.

Another Day, Another …

Resetting It All
Yesterday – after the rant here I actually took some steps to fix some of the stuff that has been out of balance and I feel better about some of it. It doesn’t fix it but holding your feelings inside isn’t healthy either — so I got some stuff off my chest and I feel…
