While I’ve been separated from my ex for many years, I still had a lot of stuff taking up mental space with regards to the never ending divorce process. I’m thrilled to say that after almost 5 years from the time I knew our marriage would never be the same, I am now divorced. The…
After a sunrise session on the beach, the rest of our first day in Mexico was spent at Xel-Ha. Xel-Ha is an all-inclusive eco park filled with all kinds of adventures. As I’ve mentioned before, January was a hard month at our house with illnesses that ended us up in the Emergency Room 3 different…
