Breathe – Five Minute Friday

Breathe. It sound so easy. We all do it without even thinking--most of the time. But.... there are times in our lives when we feel like we just can't get a breath. We are drowning in our to-do lists, worries, fears, and the hurry of everyday life. "Breathe," a recent...
