The work is heavenly, the schedule is, well, heck.

It’s also complicated. And often fast paced.

So many ways to describe crazy (love)

 

Feeding our mind, body, and spirit are just the beginning. Then there’s work life and home life to consider. We know this.

Thank you Seth Godin for being a trusted source for weird being the new normal.
