Hey, peeps! January is nearing its end. It’s the first mile-marker on the New Year’s Resolution Trail. Did you make any physical/workout/dieting type goals this year? If so, how are things going?

Tremors. And night terrors. This week in my dreams, I’ve seen my two-year old hit by a car and been chased down by police cars at the speed of light. Phantoms of a disturbed mind. On the surface, I enjoy my amazing life, my wonderful husband, my beautiful boys. But today, shadows from the past… Read More D-Day
