Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Fresh eyes see things differently. And they see the difference without even trying.

Geese somehow know this is the most efficient way to fly. How? Instinct.

Think about this for a second…
Today is yesterday’s tomorrow.
And so it goes.
