I like these things... Personal qualities not measured by tests. So encouraging and uplifting. Why blog? "Flannery O'Connor... wrote because she didn't know what she really thought until she'd read what she had to say." Same. Needing this essential oil to get me through the day.

Okay, maybe she's not that scary. But the first time I did one of her … Continue reading Exercise Programs
