There have been many times in my life when I have found myself near rock bottom. Whatever I did didn’t seem to be working, so I would continue to slip down the jagged sides of the precipice, bound for the chasm of doom that lay below. Some people would continue...

Over the years, I have had many moving experiences. Nineteen to be exact. I moved out of my parent’s house when I was 21 and over the last 32 years, it’s been 19 moves. I’m sure at some point there will be another, and probably another. It’s...
