30 Day Challenge- Parts Work

30 Day Challenge- Parts Work How many days completed- 28 I’m always doing 30-day challenges. I’m not sure why 30 days. I’ve seen other people do it I suppose, and 30 days is a month, give or take.

The Unnatural Human Amnesia

The Unnatural Human Amnesia Today I went for a walk with my family at my favourite local countryside spot.

Coming Back To Yourself

Coming Back To Yourself  More so than any other creature on the planet, Human Beings are expert at not being experts on themselves.
