Echoes Of Success

Posted on January 19, 2017 by Marcia Ren

Navigating Into The New Year

Posted on January 12, 2017 by Marcia Ren

  It’s mid~day, mid~week, and close to being mid~month as I sit down and write today’s post.

5,4,3,2,1… JANUARY 2017 Today’s post comes with a request. I ask that before the day ends you get up & dance. Go on you can do it. ~Marcia ⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄ As I contemplate the beginning of a new year, I feel excited. I had actually written  another post for today. However, I tossed it when earlier this week it snowed on my sweet, beautiful coast. A rarity I’ve been told. I grabbed this rarity by the horn and decided to write a different post.
