lately i’ve been feeling so much like i’m pushing at full-speed, straight ahead. so we decided to take a little break and head to door county, wisconsin (where we were married). i realized these last few months i’d been moving forward with such intensity, that i had forgotten to take a breath and look around. so i’m taking a 3 month sabbatical. to me,...
