Doing Life Together

The holidays are upon us and everyone has at least one family member they consider a little bit difficult.

This is  my dad when he fought in WWII! And on the right is my dad at age 94. He is one of the many veterans who needs to be honored today. Such sacrifices our veterans made and continue to make to provide us our freedom. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! What…

Recently, we have heard stories about addiction and how it has impacted families of those on the presidential campaign trail. Jeb Bush talked to CNN about his daughter’s run in with the law while fighting a prescription drug addiction. Others like Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina have also been open and transparent regarding the destructive effects of addiction…
