Confession: I had a rough morning, emotionally-speaking. I sat in my favorite chair, sipping my coffee, feeling the weight of the world (or at least the weight of all my feelings). With my kids at school and my husband at work, the house was quiet but my mind was not. My flesh was at war … Continue reading Restoring Joy
