Happy Monday friends! So much for that ice/winter storm that was supposed to be terrible Saturday and Sunday…We stayed in all day Saturday because of the warnings issued, and honestly I’m not mad about it. I got some work done on the blog and deleted 20,000 emails (no joke). I know for some of you that would drive you insane to see that number on your phone. It was getting out of control and I’m really trying to be better about my inbox this year. Have you set any goals for yourself this year? I’m still working on making some realistic goals for myself this year, and learning to take it one day at a time. Wishing you a wonderful and productive week!
