I have been thinking a lot about what I want to be when I grow up. The easy and safe choices are in the world of kids. Either a teacher, a counselor, a social worker… something like that. I know I would feel rewarded by the work and I would enjoy […]

Ay… way to spoil my “tough girl” image. The position I am in… well, its got a big learning curve for anyone. Add to it that skill set wise, I had a lot to learn to start with. The learning curves I have normally had look something like a gradual hill. This one is straight […]
