• They Had Me At Good-Bye

  Good-byes aren’t easy. They can be painful, uncomfortable, challenging. Or convenient, timely and welcomed. This last weekend, I was feeling the former. My team had come to the end of our time with this group of people we’ve worked with for the past ten months. Folks we’ve gotten to know quickly and well. Those with…

• Wasteland Of Worry

  I’m a closet worrier. Many perceive me as rather fun and funny. I’m a very positive person–I happen to see life through a glass three-quarters full. None of that is a put-on. I do find at times that something comes out of nowhere, kicks me where the sun doesn’t shine and causes me to stress…

• The Really Bad Four Letter Word

  I’m not an overly fearful person. I’ve mastered the art of staying home alone at night without turning on every light in the house. I’m not fond of snakes, but I’ve held my share of them. I love crazy roller coasters and when planes take sudden dips due to turbulence.  And dying isn’t a fear…
