1. A poem I have revisited these past two weeks… There are a couple of poems that I have kept with me since high school. This one… The Man In The Arena… is a great one. I have posted it before, but I’m reposting it for those that are being criticized by people who have…
I have always liked positive quotes, uplifting poems, and anything written that motivated me. I’d jot down things that I heard on post-it notes and stick them on my refrigerator, the dashboard of my car, on the headboard of my bed, or the mirror in my bathroom. I’ve read anything I could get my hands…
1. Series we watched this week (and you should too!)… We finally watched the Painkiller series on Netflix. This drama, starring Matthew Broderick, exposes Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family’s role in creating the opioid epidemic that is STILL wreaking havoc on our country.

We all want to know the magic secret that will lead us to that balanced, incredible life we always dreamed of. We read books, articles, and blogs loaded with lists of solutions, keys to success, and strategies to get what we want. With how easy it is to access information these days, it should boggle…
1. Movie I saw last week (and you NEED TO also!)… We finally made it to the movie Sound of Freedom. This is a movie about child sex-trafficking and has shaken everyone that I know that has seen it. Oddly, there was A LOT of resistance in getting it released, and even more oddly, it…
