Wicked For Good

I grew up watching the “Wizard of Oz” annually with family and friends. When I was young I watched it in black and white. It wasn’t until we got a colored television that this movie really came to life. Those of you who experienced this know what I mean.

Manifesto

Day 42 – Saturday What a day! I hiked alone with God on private party in their woods and all over their property for 2.02 miles. It is not often I can hike alone in the woods and feel safe. When I first arrived a black chicken greeted me. When I was done with theContinue reading “Manifesto”
