It feels good to be back….

Not saying that the coronavirus is a good thing because it certainly is not!  But the silver lining in the cloud is that it's given me the time to return to my writing. I am working from home so my days are still quite full but no longer having a commute to work and being…

Mr Should and Mrs. Shouldn’t

"You should wear brighter colors" "You should try this new recipe I heard about" "You shouldn't wear your hair like that" "You shouldn't wear those pants with those shoes" "You should lose a couple more pounds and you'll be perfect" Ever heard anything similar?
