I know I am not the only one that has woken up from a night of sleep to feel perplexed that I am more tired than when I went to bed the night before. Many of us struggle with heavy eyelids and even heavier thoughts. It’s a vicious cycle. The moment the sun would start […]
Relaxation: what a stressful word. Recently, in anticipation of treating myself to a “relaxing weekend,” I did all my errands ahead of time, cleaned a day earlier, called those who needed to hear from me, and created our family schedule.

Sit with me. Close your eyes and imagine. You’ve seen this before. Flashing blue and red lights. The shattered glass, dented doors, crushed seats, deployed airbags, pale faces with hands on foreheads, shaking, and hearts pounding. We’ve all, at one point or another, driven past a scene like this, a devastating car crash. Many people […]
