Ever feel like everything seems to be going wrong? The past few days for me have been bumpy, and the challenges seem to be coming all at once.

How has your week been? My past week has been a mix of work and leisure time with the kids out of school for Winter break, but also an unexpected stomach flu that took us all out for a couple of days. When unexpected things happen in your week or you have too much on your plate, […]
