The High-Way (Guest Blog)

There’s something you should know about me.

 I’m kind of a nerd.

 Not quite a nerd of Steve Urkel magnitude, but a little bit of a nerd nonetheless.

I love inky pens, journals, and most office supplies in general. I treat books as old friends, totally dig résumé editing, and while I despise numbers, nothing gets me more excited than formatting a color-coded spreadsheet. Oh, and I listen to army cadence while working out.

I would like to think that I am prime example of this “Never Say Never” theory. I can’t recall all of the times in my life that I have said “Never…” then a few moments, days, months or years later, BAM– God had SUCH a different plan.

Still unsure? Let’s take a quick look at my “nevers” that have since become “nows” “YES” or “always.” [Read more…]
