"We Become What We Think About." - Earl Nightingale Maybe you've noticed this, too: people who keep having problems over and over again, they really like to talk about them. Those who live life of ease - they don't. Gossip and complaining is not how they comment on the world. There is a very real correlation [...]
I looked around, surprised at the sudden silence: I had a moment to write. It was a Saturday. The kids were getting into the car with my wife, and I had an hour to myself, alone with my laptop. A few years ago, I would have spent the first ten minutes preparing to write. Instead, [...]

Taos Crossing the Rainbow Bridge by Johanna Huntress There were once three little angels, who were born of one star, and who had loved each other [...]
