    It has been 1 year, 9 months and 3 days since I last published a blog post on this website. At that time, we had just moved from Colorado to Texas and I thought that I was going to revive my blog. I wrote a handful for posts, but then life and business got in…

    It’s been 416 days since I took down my website, to take, what I thought would be, a 6 month hiatus from blogging.  It was both an easy and hard decision, but most certainly the right one for where my life was in January of last year. Six months into 2016, I thought about coming…

    I’ve been journaling for almost as long as I remember.  By 7 or 8,  I flirted with it, going weeks of writing each day in a pink diary complete with lock and key before gradually dying out, only to resume a month or two later with a written promise to “be better about it.”  I’m not…

    Last week, AVG posted, on its blog, results of a study the company did on the digital footprint of babies.  The company polled mothers with Internet access who have children under the age of two in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan to find out how much…
