Sister and I walked 13.1 miles yesterday. Yep. ‘Tis the first weekend of May and #IndyMini has become our tradition. It’s what we love. It’s what we do but to say we are in it simply to collect those steps would be an incredible understatement. Happy Land. There is no better way to describe & …

Ramble On

Ramble On

Sometimes I think I ramble way, waaaaay too much & that these daily babbles of mine make sense only to me. On those days of doubt I reread my blogs, my stories, my poems and I analyze. I question & every so often, I wonder ‘WHY do I continue to do this ?? what the …
