As Internet Freedom Day approaches once again, I reflect on how this amazing platform has provided me with a voice I couldn’t have accessed otherwise. And I wonder, “Where would I be TODAY if it wasn’t for the internet and it’s openness?” I was born and raised in a small town. It was a lovely […]

In the past few #themeword years, I’ve been incredibly cautious when it comes to picking my word. I felt it unwise to take the leap that this year or that would be MY year. It started with Transition in 2008, and Thrive in 2009, then moved along to Achieve in 2010, then Reap in 2011 […]
