TAKING A BREAK
If vacation does one thing for me, it is the reminder to slow down and take stock of my daily life when I return. From what and how I eat, and where I shop for the food I have to have once I return, ( Azorean butter for example) to how I exercise and go through my day to contemplating the busy-ness and the…

This is it, I’ve hit a milestone in my life that to be honest, I never thought I’d get to reach. Everyone that knows me personally, and some of those who have followed my social channels over the years, know that I’ve lived a pretty untraditional life.
