The other day, I was speed scrolling through the miasma of Facebook and came upon an RV Camping post touting the awesomeness of a dollar store plastic tri-pot holder…purchased as a camping tool. Now lots of people were saying great idea…awesome…and other such platitudes. All I could think was, really??? Does anyone actually think anymore, […]
I’d like you to sit with that statement for a minute. Now ask yourself: What brings YOU joy? It’s confounding to me how very difficult that question can be to answer. I mean, what do you do to create joy for yourself? Do you define yourself as a joyful person? If one observes children, they […]
