In 2011, when I began my blog, I called it Searching4Meaning. I chose that title because, honestly, I wasn’t sure what I was going to write about.

“If You Could Bring Back One Famous Person, Who Would It Be?” is actually a blog prompt I recently received and immediately rejected because, well, it seemed rather pointless. It felt like one of those writing prompts they hand out in high school creative writing classes. i.e. *If you could be any fruit, what would…
It’s 7:30 pm on the night before my Thursday blog post. I have a subject I’m dying to write about. However, because I want to do it well, I’m not going to write about it tonight (I’m tired and I want to watch Modern Family). Which is not to say, don’t waste your time on…
