I know I sound like a broken record, as the theme this week is “I have a lot on my plate” {including 200+ emails that need to be dealt with tomorrow (and through the week)}, but I am happy to report I am finally making some progress for my (our) book*. It occurred to me…

Writing a book is harder (and more exciting) than I realized

Hi! I am @TorreyLisa, a public figure and wife of a wounded warrior. You can follow me through the ups and downs of managing life after combat. Fueled by copious amounts of coffee and armed with an incredible sense of humor, I am "spilling the beans" about life, writing, relationships and cutting bureaucratic red tape.

This is my blog. My thoughts, feelings, survival tactics, and life. Uncensored.Welcome.
