..to jumpstart my heart, as well as this blog, don’t you think, dears?  I could spend way too much time here explaining my absence due to a number of hardships, but it would pale in comparison to the hardships most people are going through at this time.   Let’s just say the last half year has been quite challenging, and still is.  However, I know my attitude and well-being is tied into my writing and instilling hope and perseverance in others.  I appreciate all of you who have stopped by to leave comments and wisdom to share with others.  So, to all my former readers out in the vast CyberWorld – Welcome Back!
