I am, admittedly, one of those people who likes to dance alone around the house. I suppose that is not a big confession. I assume many people dance around and around all the time. It’s good exercise. It’s liberating. It’s fun. Funnily enough, many years ago, someone noted […]
Last year I came across the phrase of “be loyal to your future, not to your past”. I wrote it down in my little book of quotes. I write these down and then occasionally I seek to dig deeper into them. Other times I just forget them all […]
Growing up Easter was my favorite holiday. I loved the spring season. I loved wearing a bonnet. Who doesn’t? Well, I am sure a few do not. That’s their issue. I love everything about Easter, including the religious services. A few years back while we were still in […]
