Finally … Getting Healthy
It's not that I am dangerously unhealthy, but getting healthy has been one of my New Year's resolutions for as long as I can remember. It's always made with good intent, but never kept. If I am being honest, I lacked the commitment to follow through. ... [Read more]
We All Fall Down
The other day I overheard two women (okay, I was blatantly eavesdropping) discussing how crazy their schedules were. It was fascinating.
