a cautionary blogging fairy tale
This time of year has been particularly difficult for me for a couple of years now. Several people have encouraged me to go back to my roots of working through things through my writing. So I am.

He says many things that resonate with me, but what I've been tossing around is the question of … [Read more...] about Is Blood Really Thicker Than Water
