Overwhelmed? Yes. Why? Because life has seasons and this is the rainy season. Holidays, major projects with year-end deadlines, plus the daily goal of work life wellness.

You know what I mean. Right? The good news, I know where my next meal is coming from.

We are not born organized. As infants, we rely on others for parental care – for our very survival – because we are helpless.
