Ahhh 2020. It’s been a crazy year so far. I had surgery on my nose to correct a problem since birth so I could finally breathe. I crashed on my bike and got a pretty decent concussion. I had my first two relationships since divorce, […]

KIDS STRUGGLING?
My relationship with my kids is incredibly important to me. It’s a delicate balance between being there for them and letting them find their own way. I don’t like to see them struggle. My son puts on a brave face at times, but I know […]
APOLOGIZE
Here is some perspective on this and why I wrote this: You get to love the way you look. You get to love the job you have. You get to be as educated as you choose. You get to love the things you do in […]
