Read MoreWow! The response I received from The Biggest Lie I've Ever Told has been overwhelming! Thank you all for the well wishes and the support that Mike and I have received on my "confession". Inevitably though, with the well wishes came the: "why am I just now finding out?" and "why didn't you tell me sooner?", which brings me to today's thought of: protecting your dream.
