September 26 Home Communicator – Learning new things is hard work. I am reminded of that whenever I go to a conference or take a class again. I’m surprised by how exhausted I can feel from trying to absorb new information even when most of the day was spent sitting in one place! As a…
September 19 Home Communicator – Summer is one of my favorite times of the year – but not for the obvious reasons you may think.
