Everything in life is a process. Most of what we do is automatic, with processes that have been fine-tuned over time for maximum efficiency. Then there are the jobs/tasks/self growth opportunities that take time and thought and commitment, and, more often than not, outside help. Our Lego collection reached a stage about a year ago…

Once the job was done, I thought it was a little strange that the architraves were left unpainted. But I honestly, genuinely didn’t mind that much at all. I LOVED my new windows, and the functionality was…

Growing up, we were always having parties at our place. Every birthday was celebrated, as well as New Years Eve parties and Christmases. And the three things that…
