You and Me With Tea
Put One Foot in Front of the Other
Yes, you guessed it right….Santa Clause is Coming to Town! I know, cheesy, but as I have said previously, I am all about the cheese:). I seriously adore watching the old Christmas specials religiously every year. This may sound crazy but during the holidays, nothing taps into pure joy and silliness for me like watching…
Read MoreEverything that Dies Someday Comes Back
To complete the line it goes “Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty, and meet me tonight in Atlantic City.” Any Bruce fan can sing that in their sleep. And here’s the Boss to tell you about it himself…. I saw this sign a few weeks ago in front of a…
Read MoreBecoming Mentally Strong
