Someone reached in and it was a rock lobster: Oh wait it was a Liebster award Today things are a bit wacky. My office floor is a hot mess and my desktop is even more of a mess. I have twenty applications open while I work on […]
You really like me: One lovely blog award My mom loved the movie Norma Rae which may be where in part I get my activism yearning for social justice. Of course, my mom also loved The Flying Nun. I just don’t get that television show […]
