2021-09-05 Working through Control Issues
This morning I’m thinking about control. I’m thinking about how to truly let go of something I have no control over and more than that questioning why I let something I know is out of my control dig at my insides. My day yesterday was consumed with taking a car in for an audio upgrade,…

2021-06-05 Cliches About Time are Cliche Because of Their Truth
