Being homeless was not my greatest fear. Others fear being homeless, but I was raised in a home where every week we practically faced the prospect of being homeless. You go broke slowly and then all at once. Not our home. We were just always broke as a family and so there was never an ‘all…

Saying ‘No’ To a Marriage Proposal Was One Of The Best Moments Of My Life
I was pretty much all set to leave the next day when she got down on one knee at the foot of the bed and asked me to marry her and stay. Uh. Uhhhhhh. Like a deer in headlights. I barely understood the words coming out of her mouth. “You want toooooo …. um, what?”…
