First car free day of the decade, I couldn’t miss the chance to get out and enjoy it, this time in our neighborhood. A beautiful sunny Sunday morning, was the icing on this heart health cake. [wpvideo Gii8jMVd ] Morale juuuu among the group runners. I enjoy meeting these groups in the morning […]

These words were a great source of encouragement for Nelson Mandela, and may encourage you or another lady in your life, working through any obstacle. We have ways to go […]
