  • What Would You Do with an Extra Hour in Your Day?

    Fall back. Two of the best words this time of year. I become gleeful over the idea of having an extra hour.  I would prefer sixty minutes each day though. It seems one thing holding me back from accomplishing more is time; I lack enough of it. If I could add one hour a day…

  • Pause. Breathe. Start Anew.
