Pure

Well, after a brief hiatus last week I am back and I am going to start a series of posts spurred by the question I asked in my last post.  For the sake of readability, that question was: “How are your priorities?  Put another way, do you have your life in order?”

As I said, I am hoping to write some posts that are a little less involved (*read: shorter than 1000 words*), so today all you get is a definition.  Each post will hopefully bring a little more light to the message, so you’ll have to keep reading to get the full picture.
