So, we have eaten our own body weight in food (some would say this is a skill, a pure talent in fact, all on its own). We have had late nights, perhaps drank too much and spent mornings and afternoons sprawled out on the sofa, and it has been absolutely wonderful. The only thing we...

Those lessons are blessings in disguise. Love, career, wants and needs, it can...
