Kalen Kimm A wise old lady once told me “Thank God for delays and disappointments.” While it has been years since I have heard this, I have never forgotten these words. Initially, I chalked it up to the rants of a crazy old Creole lady, but over the years this saying has proven to be fantastic words … Read more
Sometime around October, 2015, my site was hacked and severely infected with malware to the point it could not be restored. I have no idea why a hacker would target a tiny little site like mine – must take an incredibly sad person to do something like that. The old site was mostly personal stories … Read more
