Spring clean your life in three [not so easy] steps

Living in Puerto Rico, spring doesn't have quite as much meaning to me as it did when I lived in Chicago or Utah. There is no looking forward to the leaves growing, the flowers blooming and to the arrival of warmer weather for outdoor activities, since we have all of that year 'round.  As I … Continue reading Spring clean your life in three [not so easy] steps

31 years late: A life without my Dad
