i want to live a better story

*tap* *tap* ahem...? I've been thinking about writing again. I've been listening to a podcast about writing again and they talk a lot about the importance of blogging. I should fully disclose, however, that this podcast series started back in 2014 when blogging was still a thing. I understand it's evolved a lot in the 12 year hiatus from which I now find myself sleepily waking. Still, they have a point. And I remembered that I actually  did DO have a blog. I found it. It actually let me log in. And what was sitting in my unpublished drafts from 12 years ago is the below that I will now post to the web-world as if a time capsule were being opened before our very eyes. It was incredible to read this after so much time had passed and to realize I still believe every word of this and would WILL still hit 'publish' today. I don't even know why I didn't publish it in the first place. Quick Facts: What has changed since then? This article was written pre-child-hav

I logged on to Blogger this morning to see if this thing was still here. I am surprised to find that not only do I remember my password, but my password remembers me. So how was everyone's Fourth of July yesterday? Mine was a little piece of perfect. We got up early (earlier than I get up for work, and on my extra day off!!) and skipped over to the Maryland Farms YMCA to join about 1300+ runners at the Cadillac Firecracker 5k. It was so fun!
