Midweek Message – January 29

My day started off with an email from the speaker for Wellness Wednesday letting me know that he wouldn’t be able to make as school was being dismissed 2 hours early and he had to pick up his daughter at noon. So, some consultation with Joan Clark about whether or not to go ahead atContinue reading “Midweek Message – January 29”
