November 14, 2018 DreLeave a comment

It’s been two weeks since I left the social media realm. This isn’t new to me. I have taken so many breaks from it in the past. The difference is that this time I have set no return date.

a clean slate

April 4, 2018April 7, 2018 DreLeave a comment

Want to hear something devastating? All of my blogs from the last two years are gone. Ok, not all. Thankfully I have some saved in my email but any that I wrote spur of the moment are forever gone.
