A few weeks ago our daughter told us that she did a Social Media Cleanse. "A what?" her father asked? She quickly laughed at him and replied, "I deleted a lot of people off my social media Dad!" I can't remember the exact numbers now but she was quite proud of her reduced number ofContinue reading "Social Media Cleanse"

I just finished reading a wonderful story. Maid. It was written by Stephanie Land about her life as a single mother living in poverty. Wow is how I can best describe it. In reading her story you get a glimpse into what it's like to need the system, to rely on the system and toContinue reading "A good book always teaches you something."

Sorry I've been silent for a few days, been a little out of commission. Tonight's note is just a quick one to show you exactly what I mean when I say "life on the mountain".
