I’m am so over this headache that does not feel like a typical headache. I’m getting more emotional as the pain continues than I would have hoped at this point in the journey. I have to admit, I want to […]
Day 27: Turn Me Up
I remember how much I enjoyed singing when I was a kid. I took it seriously too. I used all of the R&B singers of my childhood as my vocal coach. I even had the nerve to sing along with […]
