Living The Dream Four years ago when I uprooted my life to move from Kansas City, MO to San Diego, I wrote a series of blogs called Living the Dream to chronicle my decision to leave my home of 25 years and start a new life. It’s been a good run and a decision I […]
Read MoreBack in April I wrote a blog about how hard it was for me to write.
