June 25th, will mark a full month of working for myself. It has mostly been an upward climb full of excitement and lessons. But the best part is – I don’t expect my learning curve to ever peak in this business. If it does, it’s time to pack up and move to a secluded beach […]
Secret – A Poem
Time lapses, and I stand still. I do not dare move fingers, arms or limbs in this silent mixture of regret. The words I did not speak, the truth I did not see, the glass I have stepped on. It was not deceit I felt or errors I covered, yet my silence drew your blood […]

He let us know we should appreciate our last weekend of freedom before school started. He was right. Since I started this blog after transferring to UNC, I’ve never gone so long without writing. And if […]

It had some information about our book and learning center online, but as […]
