A Wedding Toast to My Parents

Repost:
On January 10, 1993 my father passed away. On October 26, 2002, my mother married her boyfriend of 8 years. She met Ed in 1994. They were such close friends, I don’t think any of us were sure what would happen. However, I am pleased to say that they have celebrated 11 years together now [...]

Constant Content (CC) Vs. Associated Content (AC)

Deciding which one to list your stuff at can be a challenge. It seems lately, that I am learning more and more people enjoy the benefits of Associated Content, which I am not exactly sure I understand the reasoning behind.
Although I have never listed at Associated Content, I have listed at Constant Content. I have [...]

It’s Been Forever

I didn’t mean to let so much time pass by, between writing on the blog, putting the site together and still maintaining my writing career.

Quote of the Week: “We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative.

Fulfillin’ My Dreams

Repost:
A song I wrote awhile back….still chills me when I read it.

It’s 4′o clock in the morning,
and I’m lying here awake.
Thinkin’ ’bout you,

though I try so hard to hide.
Behind a wall that’s crumbling down,
as I’m still trying to decide.
How much to let [...]
