“Don’t ever let your world get small.”
Those are words that my college softball coach gave me. Numerous times on bus trips to away games or just sitting in the dugout, he would impart wisdom about life outside of the game. That’s what good coaches do. I think of those words often even though its been [...]

The more I think about it, the more I believe that most of the stress and busyness in women’s lives comes from clutter. I’m not just talking about the extra junk lying around the house (although that can be a huge source of stress). Mental clutter can be worse. Mental clutter is those negative thoughts [...]
