The Granted Wish of More Time
I can recall many times where I complained that “there weren’t enough hours in the day.” That I had too much to get done and not enough time to do it. A leap year marks the day when Scottish women propose, my sister-in-law gets to celebrate her real birthday, and when my wish for “more …

The Next Chapter: Getting On With Your Life
I wrote this post back in November before my sis called to let me know of the changes in her life. I literally wrote this the day before the phone call. I was given this blog post before I knew I needed it. Maybe the same will happen for you. It was written with tons …

Two Hearts. Endless Possibilities.
Something amazing happens when two mirrors come together. When they face each other, they create a new world. It is greater than what synergy would describe in the 1+1=3 sense. They expand, deepen, and multiply their reflections in such a way that they both display an image with infinite renditions. The image is endless. Our …
