Welcome to a world of limitless possibilities, where the journey is as exhilarating as the destination, and where every moment is an opportunity to make your mark on the canvas of existence. The only limit is the extent of your imagination.

  • Keeping clutter

    Bonus Fun Fact Opinion: Some clutter is good and it’s okay to enjoy the seemingly pointless objects that take up space in your life. While relocating from Iowa to Minnesota, I have been getting rid of a lot of stuff. You know what I mean — the accumulation of mysterious possessions gained through living in one place for decades.
