"Life, liberty and the pursuit of sanity."
As of yesterday, I hit my 500th follower on my Twitter!

I think this weekend proved to me that I have a little bit of re-adjusting my schedule to do. I was hoping to promise a 30 prompts for 30 days series, but I fell short. However, this won’t stop me, even if I need to carry over into the month of June I am determined... Continue Reading →
