Hope you have had a beautiful, restful and rejuvenating weekend. On Sunday, I took the most glorious train ride from Santa Barbara to La Jolla. I’m not kidding. It was glorious! …mainly because I wasn’t driving and mostly because cruising along the ocean was beauuuutiful. I’m in La Jolla for a 5 day course on FBC… Continue reading FBC Statistics
