Check out a little storytelling about accidental discovery, originally published on November 9, 2018. Those occurrences in life that happen by accidental discovery have provided some of the best "lessons learned" moments that I've … Continue reading Reblog – Faux Mashed Potatoes (Red Lentil-Style)
Reading-Writing Odds and Ends
We're going to end the blogging week with a few miscellaneous items. My week has been somewhat of a hodgepodge of many different things going on in everyone of my family members' lives (which of course affects the family collectively and individually).

When initially contemplating … Continue reading Reblog – What Industry Leaders Won’t Tell You
Must-Read for Complainers

What Industry Leaders Won’t Tell You
Quite frankly, they don't tell us a lot. When initially contemplating this fact, I was very upset about the idea that we, as consumers, rely so much on these industries that are legally allowed to withhold some information that directly affects our well-being. You may be wondering what industries I'm referring to. Well, the regulars.. … Continue reading What Industry Leaders Won’t Tell You
