Articles in the Moment

We believe everyone has learned a powerful life changing lesson at some point in life. It might have been a small thing where for a moment everything became clear to you, or it might have been a disaster that completely turned you around changing the way you think, or live. The Universe has a way of teaching us what we need to learn. Sometimes the lesson itself isn’t pleasant, but important.

Please share what you have learned so that someone else might get the message. Your story might change someone’s life.

For this reason, Erica and I (Chris) want dedicate an entire page to your lesson. You can share the page address with your friends so they can benefit as well.

You don’t have to have all the answers to life’s questions, just share what you know…

Thank you,

Chris & Erica

Do you ever feel like you're sleepwalking through life? There have been times that I have felt that way. We tend to get into our daily routine. We wake up each day at the same time. We take a shower, drink our coffee, and get dressed in the same order each day. We get to work and park in the same spot if possible and sit at the same lunch table each day. There is a sort of comfort that is gained from our routine.

Funny, I got a mood ring yesterday, as an impulse buy of nostalgia, and today, I have seen that thing change so many colors! I suppose my mood has fluctuated since I came into work.

I used to imagine that I was one of these princesses and that by twirling around all of my problems would disappear in an instant. Read the full article...
