Sounds like I need some new shoes

I’ll admit it; I’m a bit scared. But I spend all day thinking about the same person, so I need to follow my heart. I do feel like I’m having to choose between my brother and the woman I’ve fallen in love with, but if you ask me, He wanted me to feel the uncertainty that everyone else feels. … My mixes showcase what I’m really thinking -- unfiltered, because it’s like I have competing voices in my head. The melancholy usually wins out, but music helps restore my faith and hope and has led me to love.

Battling the nausea

Man may not be able to eat on bread alone, but when you’re battling nausea from cancer, getting down a roll is an accomplishment.

Meanwhile, I realized that I released an early version of Book 2 in my book series, so I’m retooling and renaming Book 3 to bring the two together. And then I might take a nap. When you have a headache, you don’t really want to read and there’s only so much TV I can watch before I ...
