• Finally got all the shingles on the fancy roof.

  

  I’m so excited I can now move on to the pop out windows which will be in the open triangle spaces below the upper roof. After that I will put in the large triangle windows for the loft area on all four sides of the building. Working on construction in my life reminds me of…

• Structure and Personal Evolution

  I feel like I am in an ever shifting paradigm.  The sand underneath me is shifting, falling away, leaving me without structure to order my life around.  What once was solid is now barely there as an almost invisible outline of what once was. The song I learned as a child went, “The wise man…

• Do Ya Ever Just Not Wanna Get Outta Bed? “Focusing” Will Tell You Why.
