We're doing it all wrong. What if we're not supposed to pour out all we have before restoring our portion. What if what we're supposed to give is our overflow?
Sabbath. Warfare. Balance.
You can Try to Bury Power, but it Won’t Stay There.

Thursday Confessional-the Community Service Edition
I'm going Facebook Live on Friday to do a martini tutorial. So many of you have asked me to teach you, so why not.

Yes, I Saw That. No, I Won’t Forget
Whenever I am forced to slow down, I collapse. I remain vigilant, though. Let's be clear....yes, I saw that, and no, I won't forget it.
