It's not a good idea to stay up late, late, late Sunday night working at the computer when you need to get up early, early, early Monday morning for work. So now you know how my Monday started…with bloodshot eyes and plenty of yawns and scrambling to be on time. When will I learn? I…

Sometimes it's those things that are right in front of us every day that we take for granted the most… I'm grateful for many things, but I'm especially grateful I'll be seeing him again later today! I'm praying for safe travels for Tom and others who will be on the road or in the air over…

Twenty-nine years ago today, I fell in love with Tom. I didn't realize I was falling in love. I thought I was just having fun. I was 22 years old and 5 years deep into a dead-end relationship with someone else. A relationship that I knew was dead-end but still couldn't break loose from –…
