Well, kind of… So here’s the story… Every spring Mark and I take a road trip south. This year our destination was sunny (and 85 every single day) Naples Florida. We stayed at my aunt’s house, in a small community on a golf course, surrounded by lush greenery and lots of nature. That’s where it happened. I wanted to be …
Today is one of those days where I have a lot on my mind. Lots of big decisions are making me feel physically unsettled. Today is one of those high-stress-big-deal kind of days. Ever had one?
