Hey Friends. This has been my view for a week or so now. I’ve been working on websites, organizing my life, journaling, and eating Oui yogurt. (TMI but the dairy is killing me, so this is the last one for a while.) That’s my life right now, so nice chatting with you okay bye. I [...]

July 28, 2019. Self-Care.
It is a beautiful July Saturday morning. We don’t describe July mornings as beautiful much around here in Virginia.
