“We need to take out the trash.” “Can someone do the laundry?” “Somebody needs to get a floor broom soon.” These are the types of statements that can come when living with others in a home.

Which Wolf Are You Feeding?
An amazing parable: “” An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

Seize The Moment, Or Maybe Find A New One
It’s simple to formulate one future. One path. One outcome you want to see come to fruition. And we start running in that direction.
