The Great American Novel

That dream is still there and it is alive, but maybe instead of a novel, what I have really needed to do was to write a self help book of some sort. I have read a tremendous amount of them over the last 1.5 years since Jocelyn basically walked out on me. I find a [...]

Things are not as they seem

I wake up every day happy, I go to bed every night anxious. There are so many things going on in my life that I cannot keep things pinned down like I use to. Life use to be very simple, you got up, you focused on things you needed to do and you continued forward, [...]
