Whether your lives are happy or full of sorrow, you believe the stories you tell yourself and others, because it makes the games you play together more enjoyable." - AMAG This blog contains some of the stories I tell myself. I hope you enjoy them. Thank you for leaving comments or suggestions of topics you'd like to hear about.
