Making time for my monthly reflections in my Passion Planner this morning. It helps me feel grounded and reconnect to my goals and values. Also. Decorating it is a hobby.

With Halloween fast approaching, please keep this in mind...
Just give the kids the candy. The tall kids, the kids who don't stay trick or treat, the kids who don't have a fancy costume or a costume at all. Stop making children perform for 50 cents of candy.
