Full Moon Wishes
The first of new intentions complete, with a little help from this magical moon I think! Several months ago I lost a Barnes and Noble gift card my mom-in-law gave me. I’d found it when we were packing up her house last summer to move her nearer to us, and I checked it to see…

Permission to be lazy…

How to Find What’s Missing
