Links I Love Week 44

This week was full of personal stress, work stress, and I am also feeling the stress of the upcoming election. As part of my 100-day challenge, I have been committed to moving once a day through dance or yoga. Monday night, I finished work at 10 pm with work and went to bed without a class. My back and body have been paying for it every day since. All that stress is in my lower back and won’t seem to go away.
