Love those little boxes!

Those little boxes, you know the ones I mean, the boxes which define who we are, what we believe, who we should like, or dislike. The little boxes which define how much we should earn, where we should live (in a little box of course!).  Those little boxes are so comforting.  they keep us warm […]

You have within your power right now to live extravagantly, whatever that means to you!  Yes, right now that power is within you.  I would like to suggest how you will tap into that extravagance: Read these statements to yourself: I have the courage to self-examine my thoughts and actions without finding wrong in me.
