What is the Tip Jar?

Have you ever stopped paying attention?

Have you ever gotten so caught up in life that you lose track of what makes you YOU? Somewhere along the lines, I stopped paying attention. I stopped taking the time to feel, to understand, to think, to evaluate - and to pay attention to myself.

“Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.”

By making an effort to pay attention to the things that are having a positive impact in my life… I hope I can encourage you to take a minute and do the same.

I expect future topics to look like this:
