It may have taken three lefts to get there, but I am indeed headed right, in the proper direction.  Now, is the best time of my life.The first "left" came after missing great family times.  I was doing laundry when I was taken back to a boat ride in the darkness.  My heart dropped right back to 1997 thanks to the photos hanging in my laundry room from a trip to Disney Land and The Pirates of the Caribbean Ride.   Read more >

Whether its a TV show about adoption, The Lying Game, or a story line that comes up on most prime-time programming, many of us feel as though a nicely healing scab has been ripped off. At the very least, its a reminder of something we do not need to be reminded about.
