Welcome! Have a click around - you're sure to find something that motivates or inspires you to live with more intensity and purpose. “Help me to accomplish the purpose of my journey.” - Genesis 24:12, A Servant’s Prayer “What are your personal anchors — people, things, places, or rituals — that keep you connected to yourself, your sense of well-being, and your feelings? What makes you feel secure in the world? Who or what can you count on for support?

Put your hand inside and as you pet the animal, loose hair will stick to the nylon instead of floating through the air or landing on clothes, furniture, or the floor. Turn the nylon inside out to keep the hair inside, and toss it in the garbage when you’re finished. “To remove hairspray from a mirrored surface, pour a bit of rubbing alcohol onto a microfiber cloth or terry towel and rub over the surface; the hairspray with lift off and the alcohol also will make the mirror shine.” – Heloise.com “Grab some gum and make it peppermint.
