I'M BACK!!



Wow! I cannot believe it is 2014 already. Even more so, I cannot believe I FAILED all my reading and blogging goals for 2013. Life knocked me down…stress from grad school, death of a loved one, injuring my finger/hand and re-injuring my back, single-handedly raising my little monster man is challenging too BUT…

And even though many of those stressors won’t disappear anytime soon, I finally remembered that I am a strong, resilient woman who can handle many things and let go of the things that I can’t.

Yep…I’m back. Back being Randie. Back being an avid reader. Back being a blogger. Thank God, because I have certainly missed reading and blogging.
