Filed Under: inspiration

OK. So… Yesterday I put out on the table that I was having a little bit of a rough day. Nothing “serious” — normal life things — but it was still rough. Stress, headaches, tension, nerves, doubt, guilt. Oh, should I stop now?! Just life in general… it wears on me if I don’t take… [Read More]
