I started taking yoga classes. I love it! Now, don’t you worry, I haven’t broken up with running. But I needed a fresh start. 2014 was a tough year (too much work, too little me-time). I got sick. I…
Every 4 minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, someone dies from it. I am sure you all heard that today is #GivingTuesday. So if you are looking to make a difference, help me raise…
