Checking In | Diary of a Digital Detox

We like to challenge ourselves in the new year.  And the screen time report Apple delivers each week got us thinking - what if we went off the grid for a day? Would we miss the constant stimulation or would the break be a welcome relief?

What is Home?

I have never been one to get too attached to a physical building as my home.  My family moved every four years or so when I was young and my parents taught me that wherever my people were, that was my home.

Chasing Courage

Chasing Courage

I must assume that I have fewer years ahead of me than I have behind me, and I feel an urgency to make the most of what's left.  I find myself thinking a lot about what I'd like to accomplish and what has propelled me to achieve my goals in the past.  And I have realized it boils down to either discipline or courage.
