Breathe, it’s highly recommended :)
Happy Monday, y'all! I wanted to take time for a quick visit. Hopefully, if I've caught you at a bad time, you can just leave me in your inbox and circle back. :) It'll wait, as they say.

Are you a Cling Free Christian?
And now, let’s open the word together before we go.
