Embrace Your Current Place

I went to spin class today for the first time since the boot removal. I was huffing, puffing and sporting a giant red tomato face. I could not believe how much I had “lost” in just a few weeks. After class, I texted Coach Monster to report my findings of complete and utter feelings of […]

Ten Thursday Thoughts
