Ever look out a window and just wonder. Just wonder why. Not any phrase after the word  “why”. Just why. Why we hustle around. Why we run here and there. Why we argue or need to win at all cost? Why?  I keep thinking that why should be taken off the table. It just doesn’t […]

What is beautiful to you? What gets your imagination flowing?  What brings a smile to your face…even at a rough spot in the day? What puts the light in your eyes? What inspires you? I would love to know what does those for you. For me it is the honest connection between us all. The […]
