This has been a rough start to the week. I came off a week of camp worn out and a little bit not feeling the best and was slapped right in my exhausted face by Father's Day. It hasn't been pretty. I tried to muscle through Sunday, but I did a terrible job and left… Continue reading When good hurts

Safety in the journey
"You have things you need to work on, too." This was said to be in the midst of a discussion about something I felt hurt by.
