I am in San Francisco at an emotional intelligence seminar with my boss/owner of my veterinarian clinic and other co-workers. It was very informative and eye-opening BUT oh my goodness […]
Today I felt very blessed on a few accounts. First, it was a beautiful sunny day here on the central coast in San Luis Obispo. Second I spent the afternoon with a close friend and her two boys close in age with my 3yr old Tristan on a hike. Third I actually had enough energy […]
