Finding Joy in the Journey
There's not a lot left to say other than that at this point. Except to maybe throw in one of these: Today one of the worst possible things for a blogger happened...my server went down. During a restore (which I do not totally understand), I lost all posts since January 6. That's a lot; a... Continue Reading →
Alright, it's been announced, has opened for registration and I am excited...the third annual Running for Rachel will be held on City Island in Harrisburg on Sunday, April 27...You game?
