Creativity – what a gift

It's so easy to get caught up in worrying thoughts so that the next thing you know you are drowning in despair with darkness swirling around. It is subtle and sneaks up on you. It's easy to do these days. Sure, feelings come and go. But sometimes I forget the "go" part. It's important to …

It’s not immaculate and I’m ok with that!

School is now back and on another blistering hot Saturday morning, I was about to set out for my morning jog. Neighbors were doing a neighborhood project …
