RR & E’s: What is a RR&E?  Roles, Responsibilities & Expectation…what are y/our roles, responsibilities and expectations on you in your position?  Do you even know?

Long Distance Relationships:  If you have ever had to experience this, you know just how hard it is to endure.  Loving each other from afar has many challenges. Being away from the one you love is agonizing – it should be – you love them and miss them.  It isn’t an easy task.  There are […]
