Posted by | Jan 8, 2016 | , |

This October my dog Reese passed away, aged almost 15 years. It was a very difficult time for me since she was around through so much of my life and had travelled with me through so many life changes. One of her favorite things was taking nightly walks and after she went through a life threatening illness when she was 10 I promised to walk her every day if possible.

2015 New Year’s & Resolutions

Posted by | Jan 1, 2015 | |

Welcome to 2015! It is traditional to create resolutions for the New Year and as all of us know most of the time the good intentions fail and the resolutions are relegated to the trash. Yearly Self Analysis: Instead of making a few resolutions I have been doing a detailed self evaluation each year since I’ve been in my early 20’s.
