I love my life – my husband, my children, our home, my career and my family. Every single day I work to remember this and to not take it for granted. But, every single day I fight the fear and inner voice that tells me they would be better off without me, that their lives …
As hard as I tried to avoid coming into this book with a bias, I definitely still had one. The problem? I wasn’t really sure what that bias was – did I love or loathe Jim Comey? The whole email BS with Secretary Clinton provided a roller coaster of emotions towards him, but I am …
Growing up I was on both the giving and receiving end of bullying. I was guilty of following the pack and not standing up for kids, but there were times I did. There were times I was on the other side of the pack and was picked on and bullied. Back then (way back in …
