The D Word – Part 3

August 21, 2018 - 37 days ago (on July 16th) I started a diet. It was a bit extreme - to say the least. 3 protein shakes, 1 protein bar, and 1 high protein yogurt per day. If I got hungry I ate some grape tomatoes. I had 2 cups of green tea in the …

The D Word…Part 2

Simple. There comes a point in your life when you realize what is important – what you want to do with your time. I have always loved writing. Well, I shouldn’t say “always”.

We just spent the summer being kids.  I’m not sure when it morphed into wanting/loving to write other than it’s an outlet for me.

Over the course of my lifetime, I’ve put pen to paper (and now fingers to keyboard) to write down thoughts and, on occasion, some fiction. I saved them and will start to post them here.
