I’m on fire and you should be too. It’s the kind of blaze that we don’t need to be delivered from And quite frankly we don’t want to be. It’s passion burning inside us, not the misplaced kind that has some of us sleeping around with all manners of people trying to reach the bottom [...]

Freedom 3: every letter counts in F-R-E-E-D-O-M

FREEDOM (No Limits!)

I had a salad for breakfast this morning, mainly because I ran out of breakfast food, but back to the salad. It was simple to make, just toss together: a small plate of mixed baby greens with red and green romaine and other welcomed leaves inside, a firm golden delicious apple (that’s the name of [...]

Freedom 2: The way I see it, freedom is…

FREEDOM (No Limits!)

Freedom is choice Freedom is the awareness of our right to decide our lives, to change our minds, to redirect or maintain our course.
