Seeing if a piece will fit based on size and color, and-reassessing where that piece may go is a good practice for evaluating our daily choices.

If you are serious about making a change in your life, about quitting something that you think is not healthy for you, you will make that change right then and there.  No waiting.  No procrastinating.  No excuses.

While you may include yourself in various communities, you can also be a community of ONE.

Many of us believe that decisions are strictly made with our brains.  However, there are those decisions in which we trust our gut.  Or there are those decisions that we make with our hearts.
