Themed merchandise is another nail in our coffin?

On the desk in the Pennsylvania home is a small Snowman pencil holder. No big deal. Many homes have themed decorations.

Can’t help but wonder if these items become commercially viable because the civilized human race is spending insidiously less time outdoors.

Does the snowman pencil holder remind us of Winter or does nature?

Not gonna lie.

People say this with varying degrees of frequency.

You know, a figure of speech.

It usually is a prologue to some wonderful or some horrible situation that person is currently experiencing.

For example:

Not gonna lie, this has been a very busy Summer and the past few weeks, while amazing, have created a sense of overwhelm.

It’s the number one job to figure it out.

Your’s too.

Could we organize our lives around this insane proposition?

Could we organize our lives around this insane proposition?

Everyone we love is going to die.

Would a deep consciousness help us plan our time better, invest our energy more wisely, and sharpen our intuition on what’s wasteful?

And could we love them disproportionately more than if we didn’t think this way?

A Never Ending Process Of Growth, Death, Rebirth

Who's to say what's possible and what's not.

As April Fool’s Day approaches, I reflect on those very first blogs and how hard it was at the beginning to find my way. I believe God blesses the ignorant (that’d be me) believer. Two unique phrases and my name being synonomous is a mystery and a blessing I could have never dreamt up:

  • The Internet’s Only Five-A-Day Blogger
  • The Blog Whisperer

There was also no comprehension that I’d still be starting every morning on my knees. April 1, 2009 was a very special beginning indeed.

Insight: Pass
