The cleanliness, condition of the equipment and how it is used can throw many people off. But there… Continue reading Is Your Gym Saucy?
What Faith looks like
I am not a Christian. Oh, I wanted to be. More than anything in the world, I wanted to be. I was 6 when I started questioning the existence of God. The only conclusion I could come to was that everyone else was wrong or I was, but I couldn’t decide which. That is a… Continue reading What Faith looks like
Crisis? What Crisis?
With a significant birthday on the horizon, I suddenly realize that I have more days behind me than in front of me. With that understanding came my midlife crisis. Crisis? What crisis?

It has been a lifelong battle and one I am… Continue reading Here We Go Again!!!

Faith
I have had the pleasure of being on a few dating websites (note sarcasm). The one interesting thing about them is how they ask you to summarize your life in a way that somehow captures your essence. I personally don’t think writing can do that, but wanting to join the singles community, I decided to… Continue reading Faith
