Read moreA Blue Brain Honeycomb Heart
As Blue Brainer, when I think about my relationships with family members and friends, I visualize my heart as a honeycomb, with a compartment for each individual. However, at times, it has felt like the cast members from The Guiding Light, the longest running soap opera, have filled those compartments instead of cover models of Family…
