I’m just going to dive right into this one. Lately, in my own personal life I have been going through a series of changes and disappointments. I’m actually in a season of change. I just lost my father to stage 4 lung cancer, my teenage son is acting up, and needless to say that there’s just a whole lot of new challenges that I’m currently facing. On a normal blue sky day and season, I’ve been told that my personality is bubbly, fun-loving, and lively. [...]
