It’s All Down Hill From Here
Downhill isn’t easier. It’s your work coming together at a fast pace requiring the same amount of passion and focus. People often think it’s all down hill from here is the easy part. Those of us who have worked our asses off to set a firm foundation, know that downhill is a tad scary, veryContinue reading “It’s All Down Hill From Here”
Peace

Inside, I’m content with what I’m putting out to the world. I am somehow able to remain calm whileContinue reading “Peace”
