YOur post really resonates with me in every way. seriously, I see life parallels from your job experience to the writing. <br /><br />I really like your attitude and approach to it all. You can't get to first base if you're too afraid to go up to bat, and Home will always be dream. Guess it's time to get out there and hit it out of the park. May this year be your Lucky Thirteen. <br /><br />BTW, like your blog, am now a follower.
