A Letter to a Loved One
Hi Sweetie, Though I know you hate when I put my stuff in public but I have not had my calls answered and all the texts I get are so angry. I am know you read my posts (though I am not sure if you re ...
Try This on Your Next Road Trip
I get bored when in the car. I always look for something to do, even when driving (though I don’t recommend doing that). I discovered a game that made driving interesting, was fun and involved my favorite card game. I needed to master the rules before actually introducing the...
Update: The First Race
Josie has never run a marathon. I thought this would be a huge missing piece in her life so I decided to sign her up for one. I also though it was going to be a good idea for me to move forward and try to get myself back...

Dealing with Death: How Is This Suppose to Work?
