Managing moving and getting rid of 90 percent of my belongings to downsize is really hard. Add to that, doing it while being a single mom. I know I'm making great choices for myself and my five-year-old daughter, and it's still a very emotionally taxing process. At times, I'm super inspired as I step into … Continue reading Present with What Is
