I haven’t done a mid-week musing in quite some time. I’ve been holding open windows on my iPhone for months with all these excellent posts and ideas I’d love to share. Well, it’s time to share those and a few more favorites from around the web lately. I’ve been consumed with my health and thinking about the many hurts in… Read More
