Oh. Hi. Yes, it's 2025. Has it been a while since we chatted? Mm hmm. Nevertheless... Thanks for joining me in this odd year. I'm an even number kind of gal but whatevs, right? We're here. Life is the same as it was in 2024: one day at a time. My pup and I are …
New Routines.
Describe one habit that brings you joy. I mentioned my new/updated shower routine as one of the things that make me happy. A thousand times yes. Let’s get into this joyful habit.
