Busy Busy Busy!
Busy busy busy! February 17, 2016 One of the keys to "success" in prison is to stay busy and I have certainly taken that advice to heart; while still leaving time for reflection of course! 🙂 I often get questions from friends on JPay email as to what my days are like...
299 TO GO!
299 TO GO! 2/17/16 Well, the halfway point of this leg of my journey is almost here. Today marks a happy milestone only 299 days to go before I am released to a Halfway House. It’s an interesting paradox of time in as much as it seems like I just got here, and at the...
