Steve Goodier tidbits on Life and Love:
GIFTED FOR SOMETHING?

Last week was my first birthday without either of my sons. One has been gone 14 1/2 years, frozen in time at 21; the other not quite a year. I took the week off, knew it would be difficult and it was. But it was more than that too. It ...

I've recently updated my Facebook profile with some of my favorite things. They are all women's things. No, not clothing. Sports. I have been an athlete all my life until two knee surgeries a few years back, but I have come to realize over the last ten years that I ...

First, from Steve Goodier:
A VERY HUMAN THING TO DO

My dad's been on my mind lately. It'll be 26 years this summer since he passed, I'm just two years younger now than he was that year. This afternoon this song began running through my mind, no idea why, though I have every idea why. It ...
