I set a goal this week to write one blog post. This is it. I should be studying and completing my online courses. I will. I have until Saturday.

There’s a Message in it Somewhere…
This morning, as I was on my way out to grab breakfast I noticed a mess in the corner of my room where I keep my aloe plant. One of the leaves committed suicide...well that's what it looked like because all the other aloe leaves were fine. Another leaf seemed like it was making the… Continue reading There’s a Message in it Somewhere…
