Retreat and Recharge: A Quick Day Trip to Julian, California

I don’t care who you are - an artist, entrepreneur, busy mom, or student - everyone needs a break once in awhile.

Anyways, in the movie tragedy happens and the family goes on a mission. Their relatvies never really accepted their way of life, so it becomes a challenge for Captain Fantastic trying to prove that his lifestyle is just as viable as "normal" society's way of life.

What To Do When You Fail?

I've started building a new website that will help people launch their own online business (Here's a sneak peek) and gave myself a deadline to have it finished. I did not meet that "deadline", but instead of being down on myself like I typically would, I took a different view this time.
