As someone who sings at wedding ceremonies, I admittedly want to roll my eyes at the demanding bride who thinks she knows exactly what she wants. I often want to say to her, “just let me do what I...
At first it sounded like someone, somewhere was chanting in a grating voice. On a dreary morning between Christmas and New Year’s, I’d bundled up my daughters to get some fresh air on the porch of our house, which...
I am a Social Media Manager, which means I work remotely, and I spend a lot of time on, you guessed it, social media. This summer, work has picked up, and while that is great, it also means I...
