“Listening to your heart’s desires isn’t some new concept… it’s not my idea… it’s in centuries old teachings. My friends on this site have modernized and mastered it. They’re my inspiration.

Find Strength in Asking for What You Want

Spring Cleaning: Inside & Out
I love Spring! It's warm outside, birds are chirping, and right now as I type, two squirrels are playing together (actually - more like flirting with each other) in our backyard - it's so sweet! But Spring is also synonymous with the annual clean. Yuk! Actually I...
