Back and forth, across the country, everywhere, all the time…. Y’all I swear I’ve been so busy I’m losing my mind. What a crazy few weeks! Many apologies for the tardy posts. Hoping now that some of my major travel is past I can get back to a regular writing schedule. Today I want to…

Last month I went to India, which requires 30 hours of travel time from Texas. The part of the country where I was staying is not too far from the coast, and relatively humid. You can imagine my surprise, then, when on third day there, in the middle of the office, my nose started bleeding…
