Sacred Time Brings Me Joy
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life. The first thirty minutes that my husband and I are both awake belongs to our marriage. We wake up. We let the dog out. We don’t look at our phones. We take care of bathroom necessary things, then we focus on each other.…
