We all have them. . .little, insignificant moments that make up our days. They follow one after the other, and they are easy to forget if we don’t find a way to hold onto them. I have learned that photos are one way to keep our memories forever. I discovered as a young adult that my parents were right all along. . .you can buy
Time. . .How to Make a Schedule
Time. . .it is precious, it goes by way too quickly, and we only have a certain amount of it. How am I using my time?

Searching for Joy
Hello, there! I’m back! I’ve missed being part of this space the last couple months, and I’m excited to join you all again.

Have you kept up with it, or have you been struggling? At the
