The biggest obstacle we face en route to spiritual growth and personal development is not money. It isn’t even time. We’ve got enough of both to grow right now. No, the biggest obstacle is – that we forget to do it. Or we come up with excuses not to. Come on, People. Seriously. We make [...]
We ate waffles last night. For dinner. We made them from a mix. It was something I could do quickly at the end of a hectic day. We did add real, organic eggs so that’s almost like making them from scratch, right? But this post isn’t about waffle eating, though I’m telling you, they were [...]
