Travel Far. Love Hard. Live Boldly.
Well, here it is, the proverbial start of a new year post. I realize I'm about 2 months late but an awful lot has happened to me in such a short span of time and most of it not great. I will get back to that in a later post as it was a significant event... Continue Reading →
