Do you dread them? Do you cringe and get angry every time you approach a bump in the road?  Or do you take a deep breath and enjoy the ride? Life has a lot of speed bumps and potholes.

If you are in the fog of newlywed or post partum or empty nest, that’s a tough question toContinue reading “Running?”
