Hey look, it’s the woods

Green grass, trees of all shapes and sizes, leaves scattered across the dirt floor, and sunlight falling in the cracks. Nature is my safe and happy place in this world but how many of us really spend time in it? We really should go there more often because think of the benefits: it’s relatively quiet except for bird song, cool, calming, fascinating, and it opens our eyes to new things. I’m just taking this moment to possibly enlighten you on this place out there that can rejuvenate your mind and help you find some peace from life. You really just need to open the door to your backyard and you’ll be on your way. I encourage you now if you’re reading this to take the time to visit this place God has created for our benefit and find a bit of peace plus who knows, maybe you’ll discover something new.

The film industry appears to be run by just a few large corporations who like ...

Sleep is coming for you......

The morning your alarm goes off and you just want to roll over, or the first yawn you take when you get started on school, or maybe even you find your hormones are all over the place. There is one problem that could be at the root of this groggy epidemic: sleep deprivation. Sleep is one of the most essential things we need in order to stay healthy, be alert, maintain hormones, and cultivate imagination otherwise we feel tired or uninspired. There are a few other things that I believe are also essential but I'll talk about those in a different post, so let's just get back to sleep. For starters, people of different ages need different amounts of sleep, which I'm sure you've heard about but how much is the question. It makes the most sense that young kids and teenagers need a good bit of sleep in order to develop their brains and focus on day to day activities so 10-12 hours is ideal and quite necessary. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that maybe a good b...
