A few weeks ago I started speaking with a life coach. It was my alternative to traditional talk therapy, which in the past, has never really benefited me for one reason or another, but mostly because after being asked about feeling important, one psychologist nodded off to dreamland in the middle of my response. So …

My Favorite Summer Drink…
No, it’s not a cocktail, though a splash of Malibu Rum would make it a fantastic summer boozy beverage! But this is more of the healthy-refreshing-replenishing kind, and it’s really simple.
