You’re Bigger Than That

My Inner World was a site offering self discovery, self help, and motivations. On occasion, I would get an email from MIW called “The Inner View”. It seems odd, but every time I receive these emails, it seems the topic of point was something I needed at the time. Weird. Spooky. (Unfortunately, My Inner World went off line last September. Hope it comes back up. ) A while ago, the topic was “Do you need someone to talk to?”. The following were some of the points addressed. One of the most valuable of life’s gifts is someone to talk to.

At the Vineyard

It was another enjoyable Friday evening with friends. We met Bob and Nancy at the Vineyard for wine and small eats. Jackie and Rock had intended to join us however, emergency situation: their basement was deep in 9" of water. Unfortunately, they weren't able to leave that mess. It happens a lot around here between burst pipes, back flow when snow melts and the ground just can't absorb all the moisture, we all deal with it at some point. The four of us did enjoy our evening. Here is the break down: My first glass of wine [...]
