And then jet lag happened
“I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed.

New year, new look
Today New year, new look. I did a little tweaking of my blog design. I like it, for now. I wish it was a new look for my body, but alas, this year has taken a toll. I feel older, sluggish, exhausted by the stress of it all. It seems I am always sick with … Continue reading New year, new look
The ambush, part two
