Fur Babies

Life wouldn’t be complete without our fur babies. In my life, I’ve been blessed with Adrian, Seville and Madrid, and now Bella and Luna. Sukiyaki from my childhood.

The Power of Silence

On this Thanksgiving Holiday weekend, I wasn’t planning on writing about silence but more about Black Friday or about insurance on rates.

Yes,Continue reading “The Power of Silence”
