So I am realizing that a rant is just like a rat with an ‘n’.  However, both a rant and a rat do bring about the same picture. Neither is very aesthetically pleasing, and both can be large and intimidating. And we are off and running with rats and rants this week. I have spent most of my...

First, let me apologize for the late and missing weeks of my blog. I have had to lay low and tread lightly for a bit as my mind was like a minefield of emotion. But, I am back and here we go… I am truly going through some stuff that is icky, uncomfortable, painful,...

So, here it is Sunday and I am at work on a couple of pieces that are just not completed and I wanted to give me the time to end them correctly and with all of my heart in there. I also did not want to miss sending our Sunday meeting of mind and...

And I just realized that I am about ready to turn fifty-seven years old this year and I am working on ten years clean. That is making this year a very important piece of my puzzle I call life. I look at where I am at in my life and where I may very...
