    Envision Equity

    Equity:  fairness or justice in the way people are treated —As defined by Merriam-Webster in their definition for English language learners (which was far easier to understand and explain, even for this native speaker) I almost cried yesterday.

    When your best friend is an unconventional model

    I have been blessed with Ashley D., Ashley S., Vic, and Nichole as my four best friends.  This weekend I spent almost every waking hour with Ashley S., my unconventional model. Ashley is soon headed back home to Nevada, where I will miss her greatly.  She’s been my best friend in Staunton and kept me…

    I am behind.  Vacation got me behind, so I’m finally writing about the events of the weekend.  It’s been a mess getting back into the swing of things.

  • A Day Back Home

    Today, I started the first leg of my vacation.  I drove from Staunton to my little hometown.  It’s a 3.5 hour trip, but it wasn’t bad.  I managed to see most of my family and get a few things done.  It was nice.  One of the better parts of the day was watching the sunset…
