Open Practice Spotlight: Arabella on Wednesdays @ 6am.
What do you like about this time? I’ve come to love the early mornings, but in truth my habit of getting up early in the morning was as hard for me as anyone else – I found it was the only time in the day I could have to myself with work and family commitments […]
