Swings and shifts happen…whether I’m aware of it or not. I should be aware because I’m riding the movement and holding on for dear life! I forget that the changing wind transports me from one extreme to the other and then back again… How can I be on such a wild ride and not be …

Things That Make Me Smile….Day 14/30

Miracles -Day 20/30

That’s what I’m looking forward …

And today, in the north, in November… We reached …
