Change: Blow it Up

Dec 18, 2014 12:13:50 PM I have missed writing my blog these past few months. Having come off of writing my book, and then selling, buying, and moving my household I seem to have depleted both my time and my energy. For the first time in months, I’m inspired to pick up my pen (or […]
