As life goes on, time gets shorter. We don’t know how long or short our lifeline is. We have yet to uncover our life’s path and destination. There’s so much to do with so little time. I was on my afternoon work out today during an army conference call (talk…

When I was younger, I used to dance for a studio. My grandmother taught ballet, so it was natural for her to want my parents to enroll me and my sister Savannah in classes. We happened to luck out and know a dance studio owner in our area that my…

Reflecting the last time I saw my dad at the funeral during the last couple posts brought me back to that day. I remember walking in and seeing him there. But it wasn’t really him, not that father I knew, but more of just a representation of him. I’ll never…
