When you chose your mate, you did not marry the person you think you married. You may need to divorce your idea so that you can stay married to your reality.

This is the first episode with the new focus. Let's call this a relaunching. This episode was supposed to be about me helping you understand some things that I have learned about life that would be useful for you. However, it kind of morphed into something different. This episode was probably more for me than you, but hopefully it blesses you the way it did me.

No for real, I am sick. I'm out but I did not want to leave you guys hanging for a second week in a row. I'm also moving so all of my equipment is packed. I hope to speak to you guys next week!
