Here we are. Election day is tomorrow. Along with anticipation and hope, I’m feeling a little dread. I’m anxious about the outcome. Are you? Here’s how I’m dealing with my anxiety. I’m trusting the Universe. Did you know, the outcome is already decided? Hear me...
I keep dreaming in Portuguese. Well, not exactly. All the people in my dreams are Portuguese trying to speak to me in English with me concentrating to hear them accurately. I wake up asking them to please return my regular cast of characters so I can understand...
I am on hold and decide to use my time wisely by cleaning out my desk drawer as I wait. This is the tiniest of drawers. Who knew it could hold so much? I did find a $100 in an envelope way in the back. Payment for my efforts, I thought, and a sign of future...
