Learning how to do this in my 60’s has been amazing. For most of my life, I told myself that I could not change. In a way, that was true. I could not change such hard-set habits...

When you dream large ideas, have you ever been haunted by past nightmares? Have you stopped a dream cold with a blast from the past? I saw an Azalea blossom hiding in a sun spot today.

When I was leaving Austin, TX, I stopped to video an amazing site. Birds gathering loudly on a group of trees outside a busy airport at sunrise caught my attention. I have not learned about them yet. That was not my why. My why was, "Why don't I get a picture, or better yet, a video to share with my subscribers?” Here's a bonus 9...
