Cleaning Up After the Chaos

Ok, so when I say “chaos”, it’s not really what you think. We are not hoarders (much). There is not a trail from the front door to a delapidated chair flanked by walls of junk and trash. It’s not THAT bad. My house is generally clean from countertops to toilets, from dishes to laundry. WhenContinue reading “Cleaning Up After the Chaos”

Come home. Remember your “why”.

I went to church this morning. Not having gone in weeks, I was reluctant. Not having been around people much since my last series of performances as a studio owner, I was nearly resistant.
