Every week, I try to have a spark of creative brilliance for this blog. It’s called “Talking Among Friends” for a reason. I want the posts to be something that most of us can relate to and be topics that start conversations. And I want it to be a place where we feel...
The link below is a video follow-up to last week's post on "The Weight of It All." (Text is below the video, if you only want to read). Just so you know, my father-in-law is a very wise man. Find out more with this video link. Here's the text from the video: Hi...
