There was a time when I wanted to change the world! I mean I still want to impact the world, however, trying to change the youth (and adults!) is for sure an uphill battle. It’s already hard enough to change my bad patterns and improve myself. Besides who likes a nagger or someone preaching to you all the time? Not I. And nag I have and can, ask my husband!

So I’ve moved more than 20 times in my life; 2 countries, 3 states, and more than 15 neighborhoods in the USA. Moving can be difficult and I have also found that it creates new opportunities to reassess and ask myself better questions about what I want my lifestyle and home to feel like.

There were many days when I would block ONE full hour for my Quiet/Alone Time. This was going to be the time for myself, a time for reflection. Some days were excellent, some did not happen. At the end of the day, it was inconsistent.

I still remember the impact Hurricane Andrew made on me back in the 90s in Miami, Florida. I felt helpless because I was not able to help my extended family. We had electricity, while their food was rotten, and the flooding enabled us to distribute our food to them.
