Life Purpose: A Brief Retrospection

Life Purpose: A Brief Retrospection This piece is a little different from my usual reading selections in that it is devoid of humor, silliness, romance or fictional adventures.  Having said that, please keep reading though, because I will not allow myself to gum it up in a sloppy quagmire of soporific wordsmithing. At least, that is what I am hoping. I’ve made a garbage truck worth of mistakes in Read More
