“Do One Thing Every Day That Scares You.”

~Eleanor Roosevelt

That particular quote has resonated with me for much of my life. It has also been the cause for a lot of internal dialogue and calling myself a chicken sh*t on many occasions.

The Fortune Cookie Is Magical

As I become more settled into my new home, I find that it is slowly lending itself to my creative juices. I have mentioned [previously] that I am more at home here than anywhere I have lived before.
