One of the projects I chose for 2024 was to simplify my digital life. I simply don’t enjoy trying to keep up with multiple websites or social media accounts. If you subscribe to this blog, you probably noticed a few weeks ago that your inbox got flooded with a series of Pilates-related posts. That wasContinue reading “A Quick Note About Site Maintenance”
