I wish I could say I walked out of the theatre with a look of wonder in my eyes. With that feeling that the Leo Dicaprio from the Titanic was back. He was a boy I fell in love with about 20 years ago and I haven’t seen him since. Where did he go? I […]

When things line up in my life, they really line up. I decided in my fever of New Year’s resolutions to take things up a notch and enroll in courses to improve my overall prowess as an author. Enter Blogging 101 and Business Marketing on the Internet. I made it through week one and the […]
I read a post earlier today that made me think of my quest to learn French. I’ve been taking classes for two and half years and can now make it confidently through a Disney movie with no subtitles (that I’ve seen before). This is progress. As I read this post by a fellow blogger […]
