It was a cool October Saturday; it started off dreary, but by afternoon, the California sun was shining.I was just getting over a bad cold and still feeling awful.

Just Be…
In May of 2012, I set out on a challenge of sorts to myself. My "goal" was to begin to better myself and simplify my life. I sought at the beginning to eliminate clutter from my life by slowly purging myself of unneeded items.For me, this is no easy task as I am very close … Continue reading Just Be…

My life isn't perfect (I can hear the resounding "DUH!" sound now...).I only say that to qualify my next statement: I am so blessed.
