    This past week I felt desperately inspired to write on the topic of appropriate, professional communication.

    This morning I woke-up to a loving husband gazing over me, my dog pawing and whining at my bedside and my cat trying to wedge his way into the middle of it all. An absolutely adoring crowd with an abundance of love to share with me. Why did I feel […]
