Charcoal Idea List

The purpose of this topic is to provide a simple list of One Line reminders and idea stimulators.

In order to keep a simple clean list, I will go to an existing D.O.W. topic that looks related or start a new topic if I want to discuss something on this growing list.

Please reply with your list of words or phrases that you want to remember or share to stimulate thought.

Here are a few things I want to remember/ponder:
