STOP

  “Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.”   We’re all playing Monopoly. Building. Building before we know why. Before we know who. Before we know how. To be.   What if you’ve never truly had an experience of being before? Don’t run from the question. Maybe today is the day for you to try…

Perhaps You’re Not as Far as You Think

  I’ve been struggling lately. It’s my age-old nemesis of not having enough money. It’s a sad, boring story that has become my life: on auto-repeat. Insert yawn here.
