Since returning from Australia four days ago, we are slowly normalizing our home routine.

Worth noting we went from three weeks of Australia Winter (temps ranged from 50-70) to Florida Summer with heat index of 110 all week.

Never let society’s embarrassingly low health standards be yours. Set polarizing, high health standards.

This is true leadership.

If you’re not leading yourself first, you’re a puppet.

You’re welcome.
