Failure is the first page of the book of wisdom. Success the last. 2020 was going to be a year for the history books just based on it's date alone. None of us were alive during the year 1010, and I don't think many of us will see the calendar year 3030. Somehow my gut…Read more 2021: The Year of Opportunities, Possibilities and Listening

Celebrating Life: Breakfast for Dinner
“We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.” ~ Breakfast Club Breakfast is one of my favorite meals.
