Always Starting…The Art of Never Giving Up
Journal of a journey through life, true love and lessons learned along the way.
I am reading “Stephen King On Writing,” a part memoir and lessons for writers. While I cherish the lessons on writing, his definition of addiction is too good to pass up. His addictions were many; however, regardless of the addiction, you will find the core of the pull is the same. About his alcohol addiction:“How... Continue Reading →
How do you build resilience? In my case, I was born with it. It was a trait woven within my DNA to be strengthened like a muscle throughout my life. This is a tale of a girl that started her life in a single-wide roach-infested trailer and is telling her story from the c-suite of... Continue Reading →

Unpacking my car and starting the klutzy balance of suitcase, duffel bag, yoga mat and other "essentials" into the building that welcomes you more like a prison and less like a resort.
