Today’s gratitude is “what is your favorite part of the evening?”. I do love watching the sun set as the day turns into nightfall, but my favorite part of the evening is after supper an hour or so before bed, the whole famdamily veg out in front of the television. It is quite cute! Brian, …

We Need a Slow Revolution
Remember when you asked a person “how’s it going?” and the standard response would be “it’s going alright” or “fine” or “good good”, but more often than not today the response is “BUSY!” and then you sympathize and say “I know, so busy”. Being busy has become a cultural norm. I long for the days …
Shopping Ban 2019…
I have attempted a shopping ban a few times over the past few years, and I have failed. I don’t think you can go hog wild on ceasing to shop all together unless you have a reasonable outline of what is allowed and what is not allowed, and you check in monthly for accountability. I …

Shopping for Leather in Florence, Italy
When one visits Florence, Italy, a treasure you may want to bring back for yourself or a loved one is a gift made out of their famous Florentine leather. The problem is many merchants in Florence want to get in on the leather action, and some leathers are better than others, sadly some leathers are …
Humility, Gratitude & Minimalism
This past Sunday at Mass, the readings were all about humility which was a great reminder for myself to be more humble and to be grateful for the good in my life. A reading from the book of Siracha talks of the greater you are the more humble you should be; it speaks how God …
The Priceless “Stuff”
I am not going to lie, I have a lot of stuff and some of it is pretty nice, top quality, brand names, expensive and et cetera. Since being a teenager to my mid 30s, I tried my best to keep up with the Jones, or at least try to appear that I was keeping …
