I'm baaaaack!
Well, contrary to popular belief, I'm not dead and haven't been abducted by aliens. I have no excuse for why I haven't updated this blog in such a long time. It is difficult to give the time and energy to book promotion I'd like to with a very draining full-time counseling career, but I'm still doing CQ related stuff. It becomes another ( Read more... ) -
