“Anger, without exit, is poison.” ~ Mary D. Unfortunately it’s been another tragic week. So much has been written, posted, discussed on the topic of gun violence and yet it continues to happen.

“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face… hard!” ~Mike Tyson “The punch in the face” is what we fear, what we plan for, what we dread, what holds us back. What if I lose my job out of the blue?  I better keep my head down and keep working at this …
