“I HAVEN’T BEEN EVERYWHERE, BUT IT’S ON MY LIST.”- SUSAN SONTAG Adventure and exploration fill my dreams. This past year I have had many lucid dreams. These dreams have been so strong and vivid leaving me with a deep longing to go explore. I want to go back […]
The importance of eeaching a place where one has peace of mind cannot be understated. And while many people intrinsically get that concept, they still manage to set up situations that make it difficult for a mindful context. I want to highlight something big that happened in the […]
I don’t drive. Never driven. Technically don’t own a car. Yet, I keep getting all those car insurance scam calls. We need someone to stop these immediately. Whatever happened to the Do not call list? But I digress. I don’t own a car. I’ve never placed a bumper […]
