Stay with Me

I've been in a writer's funk, so this is my last ditch effort to keep things interesting for the week.

Apparently this blogger's block is sweeping the nation, from Arkansas, to Colorado, to the southeast.

Hang in there, I'm coming back with my game face on next week. Get ready for some good conversation. My friend Amber shared this meme so I'm going to take it, tweak it, and call it a day.
