Have you ever listened to India Arie’s “It’s the Little Things“? Talk about a classic. And, pretty much the theme song for my life right now – give it a listen here! With so much ongoing change, I find myself always fishing for those moments that will contribute to feeling fulfilled and whole. In 2022, […]
The last time I we spoke I was dishing on how to prepare for your upcoming holiday party here. After that, I went completely MIA (“missing in action”), but hear me out, it was for good cause.
