HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
Today is FATHER’S DAY 👔 And I celebrate all the dads and fathers, granddads, Pops, and Papas. As I stated in a previous post, I know you “guys” get the short end of the “holiday” stick. It is my belief that we have trained men to not care about that kind of stuff, but I…

Sometimes shorter is sweeter. Especially when I have a lot on my plate. In such instances, I need a little something that I can say or memorize quickly.
