School started up for the San Diego area this week. I have been at school everyday for the past two weeks, weekends included, working long hours making sure the campus was ready for the incoming students. This evening was back to school night; which meant a good fifteen hour day for me. I am worn…

I am very grateful for the amazing opportunities I have for learning… there is so much to learn about our amazing life. And I am grateful for the Spirit that imbibes me with the desire to learn.

My AK remained in the closet. I got some good work completed to support The Curtain Theatre. Come see our production of Midsummer Night’s Dream! Playing through Labor day… I got some billable time in. Got my son off to the airport on time—even though there was a banger smash-up on 19th Ave. Had a…

The first week of my current employment I was told by one of my employees that I communicate way too much. Having been employed there for just over seven months I understand why that comment was made. Communication is not the strong point for some of my peers. I am grateful that god has given…
