So I have this habit, I like to overdress. Yes, I admit it- a friend likes to say I overdress for every occasion. Think sequins and pearls at a fast food joint (hence the fact one of my foster brothers called me Shiny). Anyway, it's just one of those things that make me, me. Like almost always carrying a camera and loving to go barefoot but owning a bunch of high-heels. What can I say? I'm a complicated girl. These things make us stand out from the crowd like flowers in a garden. Several …

We make a wish for things that we hope will "come true" in the near future. I've noticed that some people feel less like celebrating as they get older. In fact, our culture reinforces this by using phrases such as "over the hill." We see ads for anti-aging creams and potions and are encouraged to reverse any sign of having lived.

It's Sunday and for many of us, it is the start of a busy week. If we are to be completely honest about all of the things that pull and tug on us, there are a million and one things that we could attempt to do this week. Yet, what we should do before we begin the week is establish a plan. So what's the plan? I know that I will have mine and you will have yours, but there are three things that I want you to do in the process. These are the three things that I will be doing as well. Seek …
