For many of us, this is a month where we take time to contemplate what we are grateful for. In these times, that can feel cruelly hard. Yet, remembering there is more than hardship in our lives has value. I am grateful, first and foremost, for my husband. He has been in my life for […]
At lunch the other day, a friend mentioned that she needed to find the chapter in my book about traveling during mercury retrograde.
