There’s snow outside my door that’s high enough to block any comings or goings, but that’s a problem for tomorrow.

Rejection is a Learning Experience

Catchy title eh? I figured it was best to get to the point straight off the bat. But, if you’re looking for a post that will rant, rave, and rail against the world you won’t find it here.

This might be a touch early for the New Year seeing as it is still 2014 but I need to write down my resolutions for 2015 so I figured what better way to hold myself accountable than to tell other people, even complete strangers, my goals for the future?
