I’m not a competitive person when it comes to physical activity. I’ve always been clumsy and short of breath – team sports other than bowling were never my jam. Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail….
Sunshine, Sadness, and Social Distancing
2020 continues to be a gigantic mirror maze. When we’re finally comfortable enough to move forward a few steps we run right into a pane of glass. New Jersey is slowly ‘opening back up’ because our transmission rate has fallen…
