This Is Almost 40

In 2 months and 24 days, I will be 40.  Like many of life’s milestones, it’s a good time to take pause and reflect. I can happily say, I think I have much to be proud of. I’ve accomplished most of the goals I set and many of the ones I didn’t meet weren’t necessarily “unmet,” so […]

My BlogU Experience… in Numbers
