Get Thee Behind Me, Satan
Last night I watched one of my favorite old movies. Sometimes they have some of the best music that catches my ear. Then I will endlessly hum that tune. Of the million times I have seen this film this particular song hammered me. The movie, ‘Follow the Fleet’ is a lovable romance and don’t forget…

A Refresh
I am excited to share this new look and an added newsletter soon to everyone. Honestly, I was not sure how all of this was going to happen with my fortune, our family and Easter preparations and gatherings. Sometimes I find myself naturally adapting to what comes my way.
