Rebel Without a Cause

dukkelisa wrote Jan 02, 2008 : Thats me.  I am playing against myself for no reason at all.  I am reconnecting to the philosophy I embraced years ago and finding all the reasons to not do it.  The more I read the book, the more I want to dispute it.  Yet, I am all for it!  Wh... more »

Back to the basics

Jennifer wrote Nov 24, 2007 : So, I feel like I am getting practiced up for the holidays by using the American Thanksgiving to test out my will power. Craziness I tell ya. Well one thing is for sure, in the last couple years I have been so much more aware of what I am putting i... more »
