Raising Children to Weather the Storm
I talk for a living. That’s what I do everyday. So when I woke up this morning wit laryngitis, I freaked! I should have known that this was going to eventually happen. It usually does at least once a year. The writing was on the wall earlier this week. A few days ago I began…
