I was and am stuck for a title for this post. That hardly ever happens. And when it does happen in other aspects of my life, it usually pertains to Red. He of the stoic countenance and endless source of hidden snark; delivered with such a matter-of-fact tone that one will rarely doubt the veracity... Continue Reading →

It’s Only Words

I didn't know how much power words have over us. How they can define us and our lives at various stages.
