Once upon a time, in a fearless world, people used to plaster their car with bumper stickers. In an instant you knew more about the person who owned that car then you may ever want to know. It was yesteryear’s version of social media. Yesteryear’s tweet, meme, and scroll all rolled into one stuck ...
Turns out there is another upside to my new purging routine. Besides all the space magically appearing in my home, turns out I’m so busy sorting through treasures and trash, I have less time to watch the news. Kinda goes along with that saying, “No news is good news.” It’s occurred ...
