Stress…every adult has felt it at some point or another. Some thrive on it, or claim to thrive on it, and others find ways to deal with it when it rears its ugly head. Some hide away from it, ignore it, freak out about it, or deal the best they can and then burn-out. I…

The Process of Learning as an Adult
I’m learning how to play the guitar! My brother gifted me one of his old guitars – a Fender Squier Acousto-Electric – with a lesson book and DVD, some new picks (red, of course), and a really nice soft-sided case. The first day back home with my new instrument, I held it in my hands…
