The Fire Inside You

Wow.  It has been entirely too long since I have taken the time to sit down and craft a blog post.  Life happens, man.  Things have been so busy for me over the last 8 months that I just haven't had taken the time to sit down and put words on paper - or on… Continue reading The Fire Inside You
