We live in a culture where people are continually pushed for more. And more. And more. It seems more days than not, we consider a person successful when they're working 60 hours a week. It's like a competition to see who is more worn down and tired. If you're refreshed, you must not really be … Continue reading There’s power in ‘No’

mom vacations
I was recently able to go on my weekend long excursion to see my "mom friends" as I like to call them.
