Lawsuits, Lessons Learned
I’m writing this to clarify my thinking about lawsuits, to identify the lessons I’ve learned, and for those who may be concerned/interested. My first forays into the legal system were wretched. I didn’t understand the process, I didn’t know what to do, and I lost as much as I won. In desperation, I started to…
Ending Relationships
A philosopher once told me that the way one ends a relationship says a lot about a person’s character.

Ayn Rand Quotes I Love
“Joy, exaltation, beauty, greatness, heroism, all the supreme, uplifting values of man’s existence on Earth, are the meaning of life.” This is from a letter Ayn Rand wrote in 1960. I love that quote, and it inspires me. I looked for five years to find the right artwork, photographs, or graphics to create posters of…
