A few years ago, a friend and I took a road trip throughout Colorado. We went here, there, and everywhere. We saw the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Crested Butte, Summit Lake Park, and Mt. Evans, just to name a few of the many sites. I wouldn’t begin to guess how many pictures …

Drug addiction can rear its ugly head when it’s least expected. Truth be told, I don’t think it ever really goes away, it’s just that it always seems to catch us off guard upon its return. Years of clean living can implode at a moment’s notice, for no rhyme or reason, other than that seems …
