The Simple Life
Kids have it easy. Right? Can I get a show of hands as to all the "adults" reading who agree? It's rather amazing - from birth, they don't have to do anything to earn our love and affection, much less our care and attention. They simply ARE.

Throwback Thursday: #noego
No matter where I go, I refuse to be either ashamed of, or overcome by, where I came from. Check the picture.

Place
Place Close your eyes. (Read this first) What is your perfect place? What does it look like? Smell like? Feel like? What’s going on there? What are you doing there? Who are you with? Ok, come back here for a minute. When was the last time you did that? I don’t just mean daydream, … Continue reading Place

Dear America – prosperity should not be sought after on the outside. No. Listen to me. Prosperity is NOT wrong. It is very, very, good.
