“That is the voice of your consciousness. It’s the voice that’s speaking the truth you may not want to hear, and it never turns off. It’s the part that keeps us moving, that pushes us.” ~Carolyn Myss Dear Universe, A year ago today I was on my way to New Jersey for the most epic weekend at Tara Romano’s Your …
