Behind the Scenes

May 1, 2012

I was hoping for a bright sunny start to May, but it is stormy and overcast here today. May 1 for me is a little bit like New Year’s Day – in that it is a time of transition – transitioning to living and spending more time outdoors. It feels so energizing to know I [...]
