The Power of the Mickey Mouse and the fear of leaving something often keeps us from moving forward.
When our children were 2 and 4, we decided we would take them to Disney World. The rule was they had to be potty trained, and we wanted to take them before we had to pay the full price.
The memories of the trip remind me that overall it went ...
Do you own an atlas?
Do we need an atlas anymore?
Recently walking through Walmart, I noticed an atlas on an endcap.
I’d forgotten those even existed.
Then, a few weeks later, I saw an idea for Soul Creations using maps. You choose various cities off an ...
How much can you possibly sleep…when you finally get back home?

What if we make up our minds?

Luck, Honor, and Privilege, it’s a mix of all three…
