While life on social media is all sunshine, smiles and fun – that carefully curated highlight reel isn’t reality for the average person. Life gets messy. Sometimes it’s complicated. And every …
It’s spring! Although here in Northeast Ohio it doesn’t feel much like spring today with gray skies and chilly rain. I hear those birds chirping outside which is helping me to remember that spring weather is on it’s way! Spring is the perfect time to give yourself, and your space, a little bit of a reboot.
