Some look at a crack in the sidewalk and it looks like a flaw—something someone didn’t repair or didn’t care about. Not me. Since I was a child I’ve found beauty in flaws and destruction.

In my pursuit of spring changes (this girl need a lot of change) I started thinking today about the one thing I could shift to create a meaningful difference in my life. I want to look at the habits or long-held beliefs that I could shift just ever so slightly. As a culture I think we go to extremes…politics, diet, exercise, vices etc. What if, just what if one slight change in your life could net a really significant improvement to the quality of your daily experience? What could it be? What are the possibilities? I would love to hear your ideas.
