I was going through some old boxes today looking for my college diploma and two things struck me. One, I used to be so smart. Ya girl got 6 college credits from Cornell University when I was still in high school. While other kids were off getting tanned or just wasting away their summer, I was in summer college in the beautiful town of Ithaca, NY at the ripe age of 16. Two, I had a lot of admirers back in my teenage years and the love letters to prove it. Letters, now that's

The "Rrrrr" pronounced "Are-ra" is what I used to call him. I believed I could fly because of him and believed I could do a few other things as well.

Happy New Year. It's another January 1st again and I’m making new resolutions or as I’ve been calling the things I want and need to attract in my life, declarations. I decree and I declare that I’m a new person…again and…again. It’s the perfect time to hit that re-set button. And who cares how many times you hit that button.
