One Generation To The Next
This post will probably be shorter, since I’m on my phone and don’t have my keyboard and tend to say slightly less when that happens.

Time To Move On
As I get older and notice patterns in my life more often, I take the time to stop and address why the pattern is even there to begin with. What started this pattern?When did this pattern start?Why is it still a part of my life?Is it necessary? In this case, the pattern is thinking of…
