Good News That is Actually Good News – The Perfect You
One of my pet peeves is people who rave about a book they’ve read, but when they’re asked to explain why it’s so great, all they respond with is, “You have to read the book!” Seriously? There are a bazillion books out there. Who has the time or the desire to read them all? It’s […]

Fit & Healthy During the Pandemic
