TARA + THOMOND Online Class Wisdom
Pledge 100, in all its glory, has broken that which I was sure would NEVER ALLOW itself to be broken.

On the non-alcohol-related front: I am also actively working on implementing the proverbial “biting of the tongue” when it comes to making uninvited comments about my kids and their lives…their parenting habits, their financial decisions, and the cleanliness of their homes (!!)…it takes its toll on me AND them and I need to let it be. Not my rodeo, as they say…I’m getting better—mainly because i have many other life things to keep me busy these days…now I’m actually trying to wait for the cue of being asked my opinion!
