Sometimes The End Is Just The Beginning! Most of the time the end is the end. Books end. Movies end. Plays end. Work projects end. Relationships end. You get the picture. Lots of things end in this life. Even life ends in the way we know it. But how would things change if we were […]

Sometimes The World Turns the Volume on Crazy Way Up High! There are some days that, if I had hair, I’d pull it out! I’d stand in the middle of the street and scream at the top of my lungs! I’d find my way to a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific! I’d […]
