Clean Up Your Act
I have realized that often times my logic and reasoning is influenced by my surroundings. If I am among optimistic and positive people, my outlook toward any problem or issue is positive.

Father Bull On The Road To Falmouth
Last week we went to Falmouth, Jamaica. It wasn’t a pleasure trip, we had some work to do (my husband and me). We wanted to get over with the work by 11:30 am, however it stretched on until 2:30 in the afternoon. I was starving by then, and barely had any energy to even sit…
