I shared my frustrations with scheduling classes (because you all want

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] I had to pivot. Yup, we have to do that every once in a while during our lifetime. For me, this was one of those times. You see, I was so excited about what I wanted to blog and share with you this week…but…..life happened. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] I was drawn to a thread on SM
