Watching for Synchronicity Since launching the new website, I felt the urge to put all of my life, money, and time into this project. I cannot help it! Besides the fact that I am having so much fun, I want to see the website succeed – of course. 🙂 I want to share with you […]
One morning as I was writing in my daily gratitude journal, I was overcome with a deep and profound appreciation for imagination. My own, as well as Imagination on a much broader scope.
