PROMPT What does “having a calm center” mean to you? Can you design or imagine a calm center for yourself similar to decorating an empty space? What do your decorations consist of?

PROMPT Describe your perfect weekend get away. So many weekend getaways...so little time...I know that, at this time, anywhere I can drive my minivan to would be a perfect weekend getaway, as I've been without it for so long.

Not sure just how long this is going to take me, b... [Read more]
