Good Morning TSJ Readers! Stop to think about this. Do you need to be rescued right now? Or have you known a time you desperately needed rescuing? My guess is if you are reading this letter blog you are willing to nod a yes even if you are in a great space this morning. I …
Greetings TSJ Friends and Fans, Have you ever built a castle or creature in the sand while on the beach only to have it washed away or kicked over before you got to show it off? Have you ever had one of those days when you woke up feeling blah for no apparent reason? Have you …
Good Morning, TSJ Friends and Subscribers! How would you describe what you feel like when you feel rested? Has it been awhile? If you take time to rest your body, mind, and spirit does it feel like you are robbing others or letting people down? Sometimes we lose track of our own selves in the demands …
