5 Reasons You Should Dance Every Morning!

Good morning and hello everyone! I don’t quite know what prompted me to do this, but I’ve started the day by turning on a silly song (lately, it’s been Melodika Bros’ cover of System of a Down’s Chop Suey, brewing coffee, grabbing a glass of water, and while the coffee’s brewing… …and dance like a

WE DID IT! Three Hour Workday Challenge: Day 7 (Conclusion)
