Makin’ Change
Most weekday mornings my alarm plays its xylophone ringtone at 4:45. I crawl out of the most comfortable bed in the world and grab a cup of freshly brewed coffee on my way to a 5:30 morning workout. Many mornings there is a really whiny voice in my head once I am there saying, “this is too hard”,
