Summer had already peaked and its decline was evident. Hints of Autumn lurked without ever intruding the last stand of the sunny days. I am not the world’s greatest fan of the summer sun and in those times where it is not as prevalent as it has been, I take hope of the impending season. […]

Read More The Story I Buy Into – All Things NewPerfectionism is not healthy. It can blind us to beauty in the simple. It dulls the taste for the glorious in life that can be found in the flawed.

Read More Do You Want to Live Forever?As I’ve shared before, I’m still reading at a progressive rate and it’s not unusual (as the Prophet Tom Jones once shared in song) for me to have a number of books on the go.
