Despite the clouds, she squinted while she looked up at the sky. There was enough sun to give her a migraine. But the teddy bear was too cute to ignore. She had a feeling that she was the only one that could see him up there. […]
Can I share something with you? I woke up a bit anxious today. There is much going on nationally that impacts my day-to-day work and I’m getting ready for several trips while I still have a ton of work to do. Typical 21st century anxiety. I’m not really […]
