We wanted to make something that you could all use that would daily remind you of what we are meant to be while also spreading the word about DUDEronomy. In that vein, we will start creating and sharing Desktop Backgrounds that you will be able to download and use on your computer. We will be…
I love keeping to myself. My idea of a great morning is composed of one where I can go out on my front porch with a nice cup of soul-cleansing coffee and read in peace. I love the cool crisp feeling of the morning air, the gentle quiet that surrounds me, the heat from my…
