In these places we remain unchallenged and well….comfortable. Same old/same old….we can go through the motions with our eyes shut. Know what I mean? We’ve all got them. I’m on a missionRead More
AAAhhhh Mid life…..kids launched…nest empty (well… maybe not totally empty….20 something’s could be back/never left and aging parents may have moved in)…nonetheless it is Life Part II.

Studies show that 25% of those you smile at will return the smile and of those twenty five percent 10% will smile at someone else. With this information we could start a smile revolution.
