Planning is one of my favorite things. I have loved journals and calendars and to-do lists and file folders and Office Depot and pens and sticky notes and... well, all that stuff... for my entire life! However, I also have the "talent" of adding too many things to my planning list. I enjoy new ... Read More about The Best-Laid Plans

Storm Warnings
While I was sick over the past year, I noticed that low-pressure weather systems would cause my head to pound and my joints to ache.
