It’s been a while! I love what I do and I thought I had endless energy for it. Much to my horror, in the last 12 months, I found out that that isn’t exactly true. I berated myself, told myself that I must have lost my mojo or I wasn’t trying hard enough – everContinue reading “Giving myself a break….”
