My Iphone has started to mock me! Everyday, it gives me two weather options for Chicago. Today, one screen is telling me it’s cloudy, windy and ten degrees. The other option illustrates blue skies, sunny and thirty degrees. Neither is a terrific forecast but one is definitely more desirable. And of course, I’m looking out ...

Today light a candle for your youth
I am in Indiana this morning. Not the Indiana I grew up in... the other side of the tracks. One of our board members hosted a house party to build awareness of youth in crisis and also raise money for the National Runaway Safeline (NRS). Michele lives in Lafayette on a country estate. Her husband Gary ...

29 Day Challenge: Week 2
I’m bordering on 50% done with my 29 Day Challenge. This is the busiest time of the year for me so I’m thankful I’m focusing on taking care of myself. Without having the goals and reporting my progress, I’d have canceled this and that out of pity for myself. Definitely this past week, I would ...

Event aftermath
I wish we could Fall Back every Sunday. If I could have just one more hour this morning... I just came off my busiest week of the year.

I remember what it’s like #NRPM2014

For the month, the National Runaway Safeline (NRS) works to focus the nation’s attention on runaway, homeless and at-risk youth. 1.6 million youth will run away in a year. NRS provides crisis 1-800-RUNAWAY hotline and 1800RUNAWAY.org online services to ensure youth can access help ...

It’s time!
Fall Back is one of my favorite things to do. Since I have an extreme fondness for free stuff, getting an extra hour in my day geeks me out. I grew up in the state where time stood still. Indiana only succumbed to clock changing in its recent history. Even though this is my 20th ...

Sweet Dreams?! Not Exactly!
I was shot last night. More accurately, I was fired on with multiple rounds from a machine gun... in the back... twice. And then because I still wasn’t dead, one of the sh#ts took a pair of scissors and slit my throat. Even though I was lying on the floor in my own blood puddle, ...
