I have a place…

Today as I was bouncing from meeting to meeting, feeling energized by all the creativity around me, I found a moment for a bio break (that’s what you call it at work, as a stay at home mama we called it going tee tee, one of the many adjustments I had to make).  On my way I saw Mr. Don Leech  (one of the founders of DaySpring)coming down the hall.  Anytime I can steal some moments with him, I’m going...
