52 of Me: Week 3
I have a history of wearing my heart on my sleeve. Not so much these days as I find myself guarding my feelings and responses a lot more in my old age, but I do slip back into old habits. … Continue reading

Merry Christmas!
By now, we’ve all ripped open presents, drank pints of hot chocolate and are sitting on the couch in a food coma! (I know I am!) While you ponder how you could eat so much so fast, I hope you … Continue reading
