“Being a mother is learning about strengths you did’t know you had, and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed.” –Linda Wooten, from Mom’s the Word, by Allen Klein I’m thinking a lot about my role as a mother. Trying to figure out my place in all of it. Sometimes, it seems as though [...]
I’m not a super social person. I’m pretty much happy typing away alone at my desk or reading my books.

Want to feel more creative and inspired – raise the roof, literally. Research by the bigwigs from the University of Minnesota Center for Spirituality and Healing showed that ceiling height can affect the thought process. People were more detail oriented when working under an eight foot ceiling and more abstract when the ceiling was raised [...]
