I’ll admit I’ve been feeling the crunch recently. Being back from travels, catching up and trying to get my feet back under me has left me with quite a few full plates – if you would like a visual, close your eyes, and imagine those people at the circus who spin multiple plates around on […]

Lost (and adrift in a sea of possibility)
It’s been about a week and a half since I arrived back on the east coast, and I have some confessions to make. Being at WDS was such an intense, joyful and fast-paced experience that when I got home, I suffered from a bit of a crash. And when I say “a bit” I mean […]
