Life is constantly changing. Turning. Moving. Never static. The choice to move with the changes, find a rhythm or a purpose, change gears even, relies on you. It doesn't have to be a big change like divorce, or a job change, or even buying a house. It can be as small as realizing the medium-sized … Continue reading Evolving Self

Shrinking stairs
"Always expect the unexpected. You'll still be surprised" ~ Karen Steele An evening or so ago, I decided to finish unloading the furniture from my van.
