Writing for 2 blogs can be annoying. Sometimes I struggle with the decision about where to post my writing - is it a DelSo or CivMix piece? Are the readers the same people in both places?

The enchantment of the holidays
The holidays are a magical season. Money, resolve and time all disappear faster than you can say “abracadabra” during these short December days.

Ultimately my biggest lesson was that I refused to remain committed … Continue reading Choosing what’s best – Election Day and every day
