Bychronicradiance October 28, 2022February 26, 2025

COVID Booster #5 done!

Bychronicradiance October 27, 2022February 26, 2025

Yesterday I started my 13 virtues, self development project. For the first virtue I chose planning. It seems to me that I am a better person when I have planned out my life for the day.

It’s that time of year, halloween. it’s a time of year that I have always loved, not for its scariness, but for dressing up, and being someone that you are not. You get to pretend to be a certain character, or even a natural disaster, like my son chose this year. He is fascinated with…
