Residents carry around small, round mirrors to communicate with each other from far away. A social network exists within ...Set My Soul Afire
“Do more of what lights your soul on fire.” That is the intriguing quote on the cover of my new journal. It is the reason I was drawn to it. The verb do suggests action, enthusiasm, movement. This is not talking about binge-watching your favorite show or YouTubers, or spending hours on social media debating ...My Fairytale Dream (A Poem)
