I published a post on Facebook that referenced a horrible car accident I was involved in. One of my friends said she didn’t know this about me and encouraged me to share the story. So, here it is. On March 16, 2000, I was celebrating my first college Spring break.  We were on our way […]

Not too long ago, it terrified me too.  Just like anything new or different, it’s the fear of the unknown that often gets the best of us.  Some of the top blogging fears include: being unfamiliar with technology, having enough time, developing interesting content, and not […]
