I have discovered I run on two speeds. One can be described as go, go, go.  The other as slow, slow, slow. There is no in between.  And …

And it won’t make us happier.” ~ Randy Pausch Dear Universe, Let me complain for a second. I know!  You weren’t expecting me to start off with something so negative so let me …

Dear Universe, As much as I try not to be, I’m a worrier. I worry about the future—which is pretty understandable.  Sometimes I worry about the present and what I’m doing in the now.   And on particularly worrisome days, I worry about the past and how it’s effecting the present and future! It’s exhausting. Other times I worry about my …

Dear Universe, I understand the idea of a contract.  Sign your name on the dotted line and seal your fate.  It’s permanent.  It’s binding.  It’s official.

Listen to ourselves.  I mean really stop to hear what …
