Seasonal Growth
It’s quiet this morning, I can hear the clock ticking.

BI and the meaning of life
My 24th wedding anniversary just occurred, and my husband is a wonderful reminder to me of the meaning of life. He is truly my partner and best friend, and always reminds me that it is the journey that is important, not the end result. Results are important, but secondary to the choices and decisions weContinue reading “BI and the meaning of life”
