THE MONDAY ROUND-UP 09.18.23

I typically power through even when I'm not in the mood to work, but today, I've decided to do the opposite (at least a little).  Whenever we have engaged in things that push us beyond our limits (like too much travel in a short span of time), I think it is important...

WEEKLY ROUNDUP 8.12.23

This week I felt like I closed my eyes on Monday; when I opened them, we were already on Friday.  Though the time went by in a flash, I feel really good because I stayed focused each day and was able to whittle down my to-do list.  By Friday, I could smile because it...
