Shhh…Don’t Tell Anyone I’ve Started Posting Again.

It’s my hope that this blog has been dormant long enough for me to safely return Much has gone on in the last few years and during the coming months I’ll unfurl those past years and lay the foundation for what’s to come.  It could become a very busy and exciting time if I’ve got the wherewithal to embrace change.  Change, generally, comes very hard to me but in order to grow change MUST occur…right?

Wait, Am I STILL Hiding?

Just when I think I’m there… It’s been an incredibly long time since I’ve written. Funny to think of all the things that have been bottled inside my head for the past year.  This space used be a repository for those thoughts but I’ve been hiding from this blog for a while.  It would be easy to make excuses, but the truth is that I’ve been having a tough time focusing enough to sit down and commit to creating content.
