Your Life Sucks If…

I spent a little time reflecting on pretty much everything this past weekend.

It’s natural to assess where you’re at, how much you’ve grown and how far you…

The Social Media Sabbatical

My sister is currently taking a break from Facebook. Why? She was tired of the drama. “Tired of the drama”, as it pertains to social media, can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. My sister was tired of the cryptic messages from “so called” friends, messages hoping to guilt…
