more than a feeling

January 24, 2020.Reading time 5 minutes.

focusing on feelings leaves my heart reeling and my goal becomes a far distant dream but when I instead plan each step ahead the destination’s not as far as it seems I had an “aha” moment this morning. Yeah, that happens occasionally- but not as often as I’d like 🙂 I really wanted to […]

Isn’t it funny how some days don’t seem to start off on the right foot…and then by the end of the day, you look back and see how it was one of the very best days? I woke up one day with a feeling of dread. There were several things I had to do, and […]

rainy days and Mondays always get me up!
