Her fiance’s family is fabulously wealthy, and they’ve made their money by creating a wealth of games. The Le Domas family has a tradition - when someone new marries into the family, the new member mu…

“All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” Blaise Pascal The Power of Silence When was the last time you truly sat in silence? No phone. No TV. No noise. No scrolling. No distractions. Just you. That question hits hard today because so few people allow themselves to be still anymore. We live in a world filled with constant noise. There is always something buzzing, flashing, demanding attention, or pulling us in another direction. Silence has become rare. And because it is rare, it has become powerful. Why Stillness Ma…

Our bougainvillea has flowered, a harbinger of the coming spring and of the outdoor flowers it brings. When Bougainvillea Blooms Indoors, Spring Is Sending A Postcard In Boulder, we learn patience.
