Flag Day – 8 ways!

Our flag has long been a symbol of pride and patriotism – one that people take very seriously and have extremely strong feelings about – on both sides of that particular coin.

Moving from Grief to Growth

On June 1, 2018, my good friend KCT died. Just like that. No illness, no warning, just gone. The phone rang, my world reeled, and it was devastating. We all continue on – she would have wanted that. But not before a lot of grief and reflection takes place. Our girl, Karen, has a lot …

Always Two, Most Often More (Archive from 01/15/2017)
