No CommentsThankfulness, Faith, and Control
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I’ve been thinking about all of the concerns that I have and how easy it is to let the joy be sapped from my life. I am attempting to practice what I know – that being thankful and focusing on gratitude can really turn these feelings around. I am truly blessed....

No CommentsElection Day (Or, Rock the Vote)
It’s Election Day. The Day of Doom or the Day the Revolution Began… however you choose to see it. I found this graphic on SXC. With all of the controversy surrounding this election, it’s highly unlikely that we’ll know who our next president is by the end of the night. Only time will tell how...

In the midst of all of the changes Chris and I have been going through with the full-time launch of his business, I’ve been able to keep my head steady the majority of the time.
