Schedules. Calendars. Appointments. Tasks. Lists. Timers. Reminders. Meetings. Cooking. Cleaning. Laundry. Errands. Pay bills. Activities. Carpool. On and on it goes. How will I get everything done?

You desire to be liked and accepted but how do you get thereContinue reading “A Journey with a Gap”

Blank Page

Looking at blank page can be paralyzing or an exciting challenge. How do I fill the page? There are so many possibilities. Are possibilities so numerous that it is too hard to decide which topic to choose? Or do I leave it blank for now and come back later? Will it be a ‘to do’Continue reading “Blank Page”
