These days you look at the calendar and you can find a “day” for the celebration of just about anything. Even the important non-traditional holidays are hard to keep track of sometimes. Just when is Earth Day anyway? Today, and every September 21st since 1981, happens to be one of the most important days of [...]

Life’s little secrets have often held her captive, while inspiration, beauty and laughter could be found in nearly anything if it is looked at with the right perspective.
