If you’ve read my About StayWonderfull page of this blog, than you already know that the first line of Lee Ann Womack’s Grammy award-winning hit, I Hope you Dance, is a big inspiration behind the creation of this blog.

Granted, some people’s intuition may be stronger or more developed than others but regardless it is a vital tool that shouldn’t be ignored. In fact, … [Read more…]
I am very fortunate to live across the street from a lake. This blessing gives me the opportunity to not only be close to water -my grounding element, but it also allows me to witness so much wildlife. In 2010, a family of Mute Swans landed for the summer.
