The dictionary definition tells us the meaning of the word is to delay in doing something, to put off, think about it too long, even be lazy. Well, there’s some truth in that but certainly not the lazy, angle. I’ve never been so busy. Just temporarily lost my mojo for writing. My last blog was… Read more »

A New Year, and what a whirlwind January has been. And it’s not over yet!
