YOU are one of your “loved ones!” Mentioned: FlyLady’s “Sink Reflections” and her stained glass intentional imperfections. Working out at Orangetheory Fitness is hard, but so far, it’s manageable. Go watch the 1965 pilot episode of “I Dream of Jeannie.” Then go watch, “What About Bob?”

Updates and coaching. Lots of recommended resources! (High value for low cost or even free!)
