Happiness feels like inner confidence, honesty, vulnerability, openness to possibility, being on with failure, […]

I know the right & best way to shop at my supermarket. Yep, I do. Just ask my husband. I write my grocery list in order, from the first produce aisle down to the last meat section. From there, it’s a straight shot to checkout (never the one closest to the deli counter though, too

This summer reading list is one of my FAVORITE things to put together each year!
