I've been absent from the online world and I know I've got some splaining to do (in the words of Ricki Ricardo).......So here it goes....My wallet was stolen in June of this year........Identity theft is no joke, but it was the start of the domino effect that threw everything out of wack, followed by a series of other unfortunate events.

I notice that toward the end of the year I start to feel heavy and overwhelmed by too much! I always try to fit in too many things. Then I make myself frazzled and I lose focus. 🙋🏽 (human here) As soon as I catch myself getting caught up in the busy work, I have to shift myself into subtracting.
