Living a life fully engaged and full of whimsy and the kind of things that love does is something most people plan to do, but along the way they just kind of forget. Their dreams become one of those “we’ll go there next time” deferrals.
BOB GOFF -
If we only do what we’re familiar with, we might miss what we’ve been made for.
