Dear Universe, Sometimes I just want you to give me a little spiritual guidance. A nudge, a wink, a sign, something. Anything to tell me I am moving in the right direction, a clue as to what’s next or a hint to what I should be doing—in case I am missing anything. So, I ask. And usually you deliver. Little …
Express Yourself

I’m a chatter, a gabber, a socializer, a silence breaker… So when I got an email from my friend with the link to an article, “40 Things to Say Before You Die,” with her subject heading, “absolutely the best thing I’ve read, ever,” I had to read on.

These scraps of paper—which come in many different forms, sometimes even …
