I'm doing 29 things
Lately things have been really messed up… both professionally and personally. I need a summer vacation to catch my breath and to try to get it together. It feels like I am living day to day managing crisis to crisis. That’s no way to live. I need to get it together!

So I am proud that I was the best version of myself and even prouder that someone important to me noticed.
