I am giving myself permission, right now today: to not always know where I stand on something, to change my mind about things, to be imperfect, to not give a damn what others think because you can’t please everyone all the time, to start letting more of my ideas and opinions flow … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving is a good start
Thanksgiving is a great day to hang out with family and friends, eat a ton of food, and drink some great wine; but it also makes me think of the soldiers and their families who don’t get to spend time together, kids that are suffering from illness or hunger, people that are … [Read more...]
