Dearest Readers: This will be brief, due to an eye infection, I must not be on the computer for any length of time; however, since I’ve had so many readers inquire as to how difficult it is to blog, write…etc…I would like to respond. Many of you have stated you keep a journal. As a …
Dearest Readers: Someone on Facebook mentioned a freewriting site that is private, so here I am typing away.
