I went to visit my father, yesterday. He’s in a care facility about 2 hours from my home so it’s a fairly easy drive. The facility is amazing and he is getting fantastic care from happy staff who like their jobs and have enough staff on hand to do the job well. They actually enjoy…
Every soul has its own path that it walks. Each has a unique affinity, a style, a way of being in the Universe that is its own. Some are similar, others complimentary, many harmonize, balance, or support each other. And most work for the best possible good for themselves and all around them. But my…
It is easy to make choices when all you are responsible for is yourself. You look at your needs and goals, make choices to get them met in the best way possible weighing all the pros and cons or not as you choose and the outcome is on you regardless of what happens. But when…
