Yearly Archives: 2017
This year has flown by. I can’t believe that I have actually (kind of) kept up with this blog. This is my 24th Caught My Attention post. As the year winds down, I’m assuming that there will be less news and more year in review or trends articles – we […]

First off, my thoughts are with Houston and surrounding areas dealing with the Harvey flooding. It’s awesome seeing online how the people are helping each other. There are good people in the world. Shout-outs to my friends James and Amy who are safe and now are collecting food for the […]
