January 31, 2011 – CDs, the M’s.

January 30, 2011 – To a t.

Yet another t-shirt I received as a gift awhile ago… And this shirt and I…never quite got along. Just didn’t feel it. So today, it goes. A simple, to the point entry for a Sunday morning, dontcha think?

January 24, 2011 – On intuition.

I’ve learned, over time, to trust my intuition. My instincts often show me the path, far before my brain has applied the rigor needed. And usually, that’s a good thing. I’ve been learning that it’s important to FEEL something is … Continue reading
