Blowing bubbles as a kid was always a favorite thing to do. No matter how small the soap holder, it was always a challenge to see how big a bubble you could create. The competition with my brothers was endless, and fun. Your breath blows into the soap and a...
The Parallels of Healing and Sandpaper
Life challenges us. The healing journey sometimes feels like an out and back hike, but in this analogy, to come full circle, we begin and end with a piece of 0000 steel wool. When we begin to sense something is wrong with a situation, it can feel like 0000 steel wool...
