What an amazing journey! Have you ever sat on a bike for more than an hour? I know that I could not ride the distances that Brian and Rachel did in this book. More important than the fitness necessary for the journey are the life lessons that are learned throughout Going Somewhere. Brian had to… Continue reading Going Somewhere – Book Review
I have so many things on my plate these days that the blog seems to slip right through my hands. Today I would love to take the chance to introduce you to a couple of friends of mine.

I tend to have a few problems that I am aware of so am trying to fight against my own prejudices as… Continue reading Here I Go Again
