August Rose & Thorns – A monthly recap of the highs and lows experienced throughout each month. Rose: Running Faster Than Ever The Florida temperatures are ungodly hot in August, making running less than ideal. But here I am, running around the neighborhood like I’m training for a marathon. For the record, I have no [...]
July Rose & Thorns – A monthly recap of the highs and lows experienced throughout each month. Rose: Currently Reading - Furiously Happy It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and read an actual book. I kind of fell off the wagon after reading a few not-so-great books from my Neighborhood Little Library. In [...]
June Rose & Thorns - A monthly recap of the highs and lows experienced throughout each month. Rose: Be Productive A To-Do list has gotten me back on track.
