Surprising Light Bulb Moments
When was the last time you had a light bulb moment?
You know the kind. You’re just trucking along thinking things are just ducky. You’ve got things figured out and you know exactly where you are headed.

A moment suddenly comes when a whole bunch of things you never knew before, or probably never even considered, [...]
