Breakfast is one of the number one things a person can start their day with to set a path for a great day. Yummy food in the morning has always been a favorite of mine.

Late nights were once a time for me to indulge in all of my interests, but mostly a vacuum for sucking up any and all productiveness. Continuously staying up late became an excuse to find the solitude that I craved from a busy day of interactions, caring for my children, and time spent away from evolving on a personal level. Night times were an easy escape from reality with immersing myself in a…
