Plug your energy drains, get sh!t done
Over the last few weeks, I‘ve painted the dining room and two upstairs bedrooms, hung curtains, moved out two old TVs, a couch, a love seat, and an armoire. I moved in an elliptical trainer, a spin bike, a different couch, a different love seat, and an easy chair. I...

How to find your purpose
Those things that hurt, instruct. Words spoken by Benjamin Franklin--and coming from the guy who discovered electricity-- I'm pretty sure he knows a thing or two about the concept. Let's go fly a kite and send it soar-ing! Up through the atmosphere, up where the air...
Make a container to hold your sad
