It’s Monday. That Doesn’t Make You Stupid.
My Monday. This morning early I was on Facebook encouraging folks to be intentional in making the world better, and I’ve spent about 8 hours trying to dig my way out of today just to feel better. You know those days? The days when you wake up before 5 to the sound of the dog…

Really, the Holidays are Happy
I have considered deleting my post from yesterday about the holidays and being tired of grief because, once again, I evidently didn’t communicate well. The point that I was trying to make is that holidays for a lot of people come with all the emotions, and I know people who are stuck in their grief…
