Always Starting…The Art of Never Giving Up
Journal of a journey through life, true love and lessons learned along the way.
You have a voice; how you use it decides if you will lose it. Do you speak up…too much, or not enough? Our decisions in every moment of when we use our voice, how we use our voice, or if we use our voice ultimately decide if we will be heard. It is essential to... Continue Reading →
The irony of realizing that I have not posted one blog since pouring my silent retreat experience into words. Silenced for three months? Or a life that has been so noisy there is no room for thought?
