Do you ever lay in bed at night in those minutes before drifting off to sleep and think about your dreams for your life that you would like to accomplish some day? I’m talking about the “I envision myself being this or doing this” type of thoughts, the kind that are so far off […]
I have come to realize that some of my behavior has resembled that of a tortoise; metaphorically of course. Like many things in life, I have only realized that in looking back over the last few months. I was the tortoise traveling down the dusty road of life when last Fall, I hit rough […]
