No Dream is too Small, so Keep Your Dreams Alive

People with dreams are beautiful. Do you have one you've been nourishing? Reality has its limitations, whereas your imagination is without limits. And precisely because it’s boundless comes the seedlings of a reality that longs to get out. Wilbur and Orville Wright had such a dream and it couldn't have been easy. Yet, they showed us how a desire to search the unknown using some ordinary ‘practical’ intelligence could get us to a good place. If they could, I can; if I could, you can too. Let me tell you what I did.

This Home Appliance Might be What you need to Ease House Dust

The state-of-the-art Powerball that my vacuum cleaner was never went underappreciated. It was my faithful companion for over a decade and a half-- with not a cough, not a hiccup to berate it for. I named her Allegri, and it did what her maker promised it’d do for me-- I saw a massive change in my son's health, gave me peace of mind, and saved me money on medical bills. Tell me, wouldn't you be grateful for something like this?

Bells as Reminder to Spread Goodwill 

I grew up believing that bells are a reminder to spread goodwill. All bells. Did you hear any bells growing up? Did they go unnoticed, or did they symbolize something particular to you? What about last year? Did you hear the bells at year-end? In my area, no bells rang on New Year's Eve.

You Can Find This Poetry Sequence in Nature

The ratio of the Fibonacci Spiral Poem is a pattern found in nature. It follows a sequence of numbers where each syllable of a word is the sum of the previous two syllables. Like nature, you and I are a perfect specimen of imperfection reproducing, loving, living-- warmed by the sun... You and I.

You Are Here With Good Reasons to Celebrate

Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of the most outstanding American Scholars, bestowed on us words of wisdom. Have you thought of him recently?

So You Want to Declutter– but How Do You Start? 

Decluttering is not hard. But one has to distinguish between what's trivial and what's important according to the amount of attention or inattention one gives to things. Each person's capacity to derive importance from "clutter" translates to gratifying moments that matter to that individual. In short, what's trivial and what's important are whatever you make them out to be. If you're struggling to get started decluttering, here are two questions to help.
