To nurture myself in 2020, I challenged myself to color 50 cards to send to 50 special people. You can see some of them at my Instagram @thecardswecolor. I also enjoy a Yin Yoga practice that I balance with my Yang, running. I fancy myself a gardener but my husband will tell you that my thumb is a darker shade of green, tittering on black.
