The letter D is for: decisions, directness, “Double Whammies” that lead to a new direction, ditching old ideas and practices, dumbfounded moments, “dunderheads” that deal us profound wisdom, double portions, dancing, dandelion fluff on the air, drinking the beauty of a new dawn, drastic measures, delirious joy from simple pleasures, and did I say dancing??… […]
As we end a year, we begin a new. I say it again, but slightly different way. As we end a year, we begin anew. Did you catch the change? Recently I was given this truth- “We begin each day Anew”. It is the philosophy of many people and cultures; ancestors and ancients. We begin […]
