Terms Of Use

By hanging out on my blog, you are agreeing to the terms below.

The Scope of This Blog

I'm just here sharing my personal thoughts and experiences as they happen. That's it.

I'm not a professional. I'm not offering advice. I'm not here to sell anything. Reading my blog or contacting me does not create any kind of professional or advisory relationship between us.

I do my best but I can't guarantee everything here is current or error-free. My posts are snapshots in time, reflecting where I was when it was written, and may not be what I would say or do today.

You are Responsible for Your Own Choices

Do not use my stories as instructions for how to live your life. Only you can make decisions that are right for you, based on your own needs and research.

The choices you make are your own and so are the outcomes.

Using My Content

My posts and photos are automatically protected by copyright laws.

You are welcome to share my posts for personal use only.

Don't copy my posts and pass them off as your own or use them for profit - even if modified.

About the Links on my Blog

I don't use affiliate links nor do I earn from any links on my blog. I'm simply here to write.

Sometimes I share embedded content or links to other websites as a resource. Keep in mind, I don't own or have any control over what those sites do.

You are responsible for exploring the internet at your own discretion.

Contacting Me

If you'd like to reach out or comment on a post, send me a private message through my Contact form.

To keep my peace of mind, I do not reply to marketing pitches, spam, or messages that are rude or hateful.

Governing Law

Illinois is my home base. Any disputes related to this blog will be handled under Illinois law.

Updates

I may update these terms from time to time.

By continuing to hang out on my blog, you are agreeing to the newest version.
