Happy Spring! I hope this letter finds you well and filled with the same sense of renewal and hope that comes with the change of the seasons. As I sit down to write this, reflecting on the past year, I have concluded it was a year nothing short of transformative. It has been quite a …

Happy New Year from Edmond, Oklahoma!  Yes, that’s right – ANOTHER MOVE.  I started 2021 in Georgia and moved back to Oklahoma (3rd time’s a charm) in October.  I learned something I did not know before though.  Oklahoma’s state motto is “Labor Omnia Vincit” – Labor conquers all things.  How apropos to my life!  I …
