What get’s your engine revved up?  What’s that spark that ignites a fire in you?  We all have that one thing that gives us that added OOMPH that kicks us into motion.  Sometimes it’s hard to get our days going.  There are days where we just want to crawl back into bed, pull the covers…

Life at times can feel like everything we are doing is a race.  We feel the need to rush through life.  As teens we can’t wait to finish school and live life.  As young adults we want to hurry and find success.  We want to hurry and fall in love and start a family.  When…
