I am a big baseball fan for those who don’t know me well. Specifically, I am a St. Louis Cardinal fan. I’m excited that the season is back on after months of the owners locking the players out. I follow a Facebook page for Cardinal fans, and while I LOVE it, it also reminds …
Bravery shows up differently for each of us. If getting out of bed is a brave thing you do today. I see you. If staying in bed is a brave thing you do today. I see you. If ending a relationship that doesn’t serve you is a brave thing you do today. …
