The Other Heart Beat
Have you ever had a time in your life when you wondered if your heart was actually beating? Have you ever felt hollow and empty inside? It’s not a good place to be and several years ago, that is where I existed. A stethoscope can easily detect a physical noise coming from deep within your…

The Equivalent Of A Spoonful Of Sugar
I hope there is never a day when every one in the world has a computer and a cell phone. I tend to enjoy hearing the words, “I don’t have a computer” or “I don’t have a smart phone” once in awhile when I’m required to ask if I can register a shopper for our…

Celebrating The Little Things
There is a gnat keeping me company at the moment. It’s probably one of the smallest I have ever seen in my entire life which is making it incredibly hard to catch between my two outstretched palms. A few seconds ago it landed on the computer screen giving me an opportunity to remove it from…

Bridging The Gap
Moving to a city larger than any place I have ever lived has really opened my eyes. You see and are exposed to so many things living in a small town doesn’t offer. I tend to be most amazed by the wide variety of people I meet when I’m at work and the ones I…
