I have not touched this blog in quite some time. Not that I have nothing to write or nothing I desire to share with the world, but rather I am focused…. or at least somewhat focused. Focused on family. Work. Life. Yet I desire to write. To share. To create. So here I am. Returning…
It was 3 years ago. I found myself “home” in southern California with no “exit” plane ticket in hand. This had not happened for 7 years. I moved in with my sister, brother in law, and 2 year old nephew (at the time). I remember buying the biggest shampoo and conditioner bottles I had purchased…
