Step into the Light onto New Holy Ground

Sean and I have been at odds with one another over some lingering divorce issues. Suffice to say that divorce is never, ever easy, even if you have legal professionals like jennifer croker sorting out all the tedious financial matters – there’s still the emotions to deal with. Two lives…

Friday Music: Friday I’m in Love
•
Ah, The Cure. My first memories of the band go back as far as when I was fourteen or so. My friend Margie and I would listen to the singles album (Standing on a Beach) again and again, and we knew all the words by heart. “Friday I’m in Love”…
