Last night hubby and I (finally) watched Silence. The movie came out in 2016 and was directed by Martin Scorsese based on the novel written by Shūsaku Endō. Both my husband and I read the book together

I never knew what Owen believed about anything. I was his therapist for five years and he always spoke in circles around me. “Come on Doc, ready to make me feel alive?” Owen once asked me when he walked

I am married to a traveling nurse. A traveling nurse is exactly what it sounds like. A nurse that travels around in their practice. The typical work contract period lasts about 13 weeks, which is just

Although I’ve been on Steem for several months now it wasn’t until last week that I made an #introduceyourself post. I was a bit perturbed by the comments section [ see: ] in that post as I found that
