So, the New Year has begun. With it, the sense of a clean slate to begin afresh on, and also a fear of screwing everything up just as it starts. Am I the only one? Well, one of my resolutions last year was to read one hundred books this year. (Andddd, that was because my … Continue reading 2019 Plans and Resolutions →

Not sure about all the rest of you, but when 2018 dawned, I didn't have much expectation or hope for this year. Honestly. 2017 was pretty bad.

Greetings! "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step." ~ Chinese proverb I go by many names, but feel free to call me Gwyn or Chey.
