And even Ben Franklin felt the sentiment and is… Continue reading No Time Like the Present
I know a lot of us are doing okay. We’re still working and day to day life is carrying on without a hiccup. But there are many more that are probably, most likely, silently struggling.

It's been quite a while since I've written. There are times when life takes over and writer's block is more than a nuisance.

I’ve found that if I wake up at 5:30am before everyone else in the family I can be alone for about an hour. On these mornings I make a cup of coffee, maybe a bagel, grab my pen and paper and write a bit. I have the opportunity to start my day with a clear… Continue reading Night Owl. Mama Owl.
