The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction

There are times when I tell people, "You should do this," "You need this in your life," "I did this and my life totally changed." Am I judging? No. Hell, I'm total Hot Mess Express over here. Don't forget that. I don't say things because I think I'm better than a person or I've got... Continue Reading →
