(Please remember if you are reading this on your phone it will be easier if you tap onto the heading picture.) Dear TSJ Friends ~ Making change is hard! And I am not talking about working at an automated cash register. It is hard for us to change our minds and our behaviors. Nearly everywhere …
Good Evening TSJ Friends! Today has been a full day so my blog letter is a bit late in the day! The tidbit of wisdom I wish to share is of both feeling blessed and being blessed. Let me explain. I am feeling happily blessed today. I say “happily blessed” because while I am happy …
Good Morning, TSJ “Peeps” ~ When I have toast in the morning I butter it well. When I go to a restaurant and order toast I ask them to butter it freely from edge to edge (rather than that token dab in the middle). Honestly, can there be any other reason to eat toast? You …
