December 14, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

It’s like if you haven’t talked to someone in a long long time..you don’t just walk up and kiss them on the face. You use some light conversation to break the ice, right?

Happy Things #5: Good News

August 31, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I need to focus on the happy things in my life. I have one of those weird brains that naturally seeks out the negative in pretty much any situation, but I think with practice (and with these types of posts) we can train our brains to focus on the GOOD.
