Keep on Stretching
Day 288 of Photo Inspirations — Keep on Stretching! I’m in that season of life when it’s so important to keep stretching. What happens when we don’t stretch? Nothing. For a while. We feel good. We think stretching is just for yoga girls and old folks. Then we wake up one day and there’s a…

The Butterflies are Dancing….Are You?
Day 284 of Photo Inspirations — The Butterflies are Dancing!! I’ve been amazed at the number of butterflies I’ve seen over the last couple of weeks.

What Are the Voices in Your Head Saying?
Day 284 of Photo Inspirations — What Are the Voices in Your Head Saying? We’ve all got them. Little, and sometime BIG voices, talking to us in our heads. They’re either saying “You’ve got this! You’re courageous! You’re strong! You’re a winner!” Or they’re saying “Forget it. Give up! You’re too weak. You’re afraid. You…
