Running On Empty

by Colette Ballard

  Endless thank yous to my husband for your patience and support while I chased this crazy dream—without you, I could’ve never finished the race.

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  Colette grew up on a dairy farm in rural Kentucky. She survived the high school experience back in the day when Aqua Net was bought in bulk and mullets were cool. After high school she went through a stage she calls ‘the wander years’, collecting a variety of job skills—some useful, some not so much. She even moved a few times in her quest for the meaning of life, eventually landing in the one red-light town she started in where she continues to live today with her husband and three children.
