***Disclaimer… I know, it’s actually Tuesday. I claim brain fog.*** God, this is a gorgeous song. And yes, it’s true. Ann Wilson is guesting alongside David Draiman and Disturbed. Wow. Two massive voices in rock. I wish I had been able to find a live...
As the years pass I find myself valuing personal integrity and authenticity more and more. Sadly, these are qualities where it is easier to talk the talk than to walk the walk. How many times have we held back from being our true selves? Perhaps...
On Monday March 13th I published my first blog in two and a half very rough years, then I put the link up on Facebook, both on my personal and my author page. After that, I left it and went on with my week. To...
Well, hello there. How are you? It’s been a minute. Yep, I am still here. My personal life went to hell in a hand basket. The divorce gutted everyone. And now? We are regrouping, healing, trying to make sense of it all, and rebuild. As...
