I don’t know what to do. Does this ever happen to you? I have something I want. But, I don’t want to over-want it because, well, you know, I am striving toward minimalism. I shouldn’t want anything too much. And then, if I do decide to acquire something it should be of good quality so it … [Read more…]
Source: An Open Letter to Whoopi Goldberg….We most certainly WERE Listening I HAD to repost this. I mean, this is MY profession. One I have worked hard to become a part of and one that I am proud of. Joy B. talks for a living. I WORK and LISTEN. That is all. Liz

Came across this in my feed about Ash Wednesday. I hadn’t heard of this but really appreciated his thoughts on this. If you can’t take the time to go to a service for the faith you profess to believe in, then perhaps you should re-evaluate your priorities. Again. It’s a running theme for me. What … [Read more…]
