This book has started important conversations that we probably wouldn’t have had otherwise and is helping to grow our relationship.

This has been quite a week. I have fought busy at every turn! I see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I sometimes feel I might collapse before I get there. Don’t get me wrong – this week has been full, but it’s been full of good things. There are just those [...]
