Honesty

Honesty..... People tell me to be honest about where I am with my ms. I try to do that, but my problem just now is being honest with myself. I am struggling with work. My colleagues are very supportive and they say that they understand, but my thinking is how can they understand when I don't unde...

For those of you who regularly read my blog, I offer my sincere apology for my long absence from this site. At the very least, I should have posted that I was going to be gone for a while. I didn’t, and for that I am truly sorry. This past summer was…hectic and for a lot of people it was truly awful...
