I want to talk a little bit this week about self-discipline – especially when it comes to exercise. People tell me frequently that I’m crazy for working out as much as I do, or that I wake up before the sun several days a week to make sure I get said workout in. Like I
Good to be back! I took a bit of a longer hiatus than expected, but I wanted to make sure I talked about Mental Health Awareness while it’s still technically May. If you weren’t already aware, the month of May is recognized as Mental Health Awareness month. Mental health is an important topic to cover,
