As I mentioned in my post earlier this week, my job reaches a point of pure ridiculousness this time every year. Yesterday, I was exhausted from two days of long meetings, 2 long drives, and just from being so focused for too many days in a row. Due to an early meeting hasn't been able …

This is what Happy looks like
Today I was that annoying person who is way too happy. I had no out of the ordinary reason to be so happy, the stars just aligned to make it happen. To start I slept in this amazing room at the Union Station Hotel in Nashville. It's an old train station converted into a boutique …
