I was never very good at team sports so that little ditty above pretty much sums up my athletic ability. Maybe it was because I had glasses that were an inch thick that you…

More for Women…. my journey
I used to have a button that said,”Warning I am prone to sudden burst of enthusiasm” I should have had that button this morning.
