Published by on July 23, 2013 | Leave a response

How often do you take time to touch base with yourself? I don’t mean just looking over your to-do list, or noticing that you need a haircut. I’m talking about some focused solitude, where you turn off Facebook and the TV and really listen to how you’re doing. It’s something I forget to do sometimes, […]

The Looking Glass, Again

Published by on July 14, 2013 | 5 Responses

My friends and family are mad – in a good way. I often say that if you’re not weird in some way, well, you’re just not all that interesting. In my community, we’re weird in a colorful variety of ways, as the photos below will attest. This is the second year I’ve participated in the […]

Blog Readers for Blog Readers

Published by on July 9, 2013 | Leave a response
