support and encouragment for women who want more
How are you feeling today, friends? It’s hard to even know what to think or how to feel as we observe all that is happening in the world. To be honest, it feels like the crap keeps hitting the fan and we are powerless to stop it, let alone clean it up! I hope that …
Mondays are highly overrated…so let’s just start today, shall we? In fact, let’s forget about yesterday, last week, this past month!
