The temperatures are warm, the sun is out and the days are long. Here in Cleveland, OH that’s pretty exciting stuff. And I don’t know about you, but for me this time of year brings with it a burst energy. It always feels easier to get out and get moving during the warmer months. So if you’re not moving that …

Feeling stuck, trapped, or out of options are on my least favorite feelings list. How about for you? There was a time in my life when this was the norm.
