The time is now. Starting tomorrow is a myth and not a promise. It is a way of pushing off the present. It is procrastination at it’s finest or worst. When is the right time? There will never be a right time or even a semi-ideal time. I can 100% guarantee that you will fail at 100% of […]
Breath of fresh air
I just read this article and it is a breath of fresh air. I kind of get into a “must plan everything mode” and it can be exhausting. This article helps to remind me that kids aren’t looking for the perfect craft. My oldest son loves the Brain Quest books I gave him and actually asked if he […]
