Where does the time go? I used to think there was a large, black hole that sucked up all my time. For one reason or another, it just kept disappearing. “I don’t have time,” is one of the biggest lies we repeat to ourselves. We claim to be so busy, but still find time for…
For You Brother
Hey there Readers! Today I launched my first video on my new YouTube channel, which is called For You Brother. The name of this channel came with a purpose. For years I’ve dreamed of making videos and there have been many times I’ve toyed with the idea. Nothing ever happened though because I was too…

Decorating for Christmas with Music
