[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmrOB_q3tjo] I had a crappy day today. It didn’t start out that way. I didn’t wake up late or arrive late to work, but circumstances that I cannot control turned the day into crappy. I left working feeling beaten down, wanting to cry, wanting to drown my day in a bottle of wine, and ignoring the world. I got in the car and Katy … Continue reading Keep Your Head Up

Autographed 2003 Red Wings Jersey I’m a huge hockey fan. Duh, right? Well, a dear friend of mine who is also a hockey fan and works in hockey kindly gave me this jersey tonight.

Risk IS everything…that is what I have learned this week. It hit me like a ton of bricks on Monday. Out of the blue, it seemed to answer all the questions I had.

Those that work with me like it when … Continue reading Strangers to Friends
