I have always considered myself a dreamer. I’m the kind of person that can very easily get lost in the clouds where dreams lie and, at times, are never realized.

Sorry I have been so absent! It has been a crazy few weeks, well, with the election and American Airlines losing my luggage. Oh yeah! I haven’t told you all about that fiasco. My bag tag got switched with another flier’s and my suitcase ended up on vacation in Lima, Peru. The nerve. I’ve never …
