Look for the Lessons
Hi Everyone, It’s taken me a few days be able to write this newsletter. In just over two weeks my family will be relocating to Florida.

Hi Everyone, Please excuse the lengthy message this week but I hope you read it all. I am entering my final few weeks in Irvington and with that comes all types of emotions.

Read MoreOne Size Does NOT Fit All
I hope you all had a nice week enjoying this spring weather. Over the past few weeks I have let myself physically get really run down and my body definitely responded with a reminder that I needed to slow down. After a few days of rest I feel totally back to normal and am excited…
