Did you know we think over 50,000 thoughts a day? WOW. I had no idea my brain was so busy. But it makes sense; especially when I wake up in the middle of the night and my mind is STILL going. Apparently many of our thoughts appear in the form of questions. And they tendContinue reading
I’m at the grocery store putting all my loose avocados, onions, apples and yams on the conveyer belt for check-out. I know there’s a better way to avoid using plastic bags than this!
