A huge thank you to all for the incredible responses to Women of Hopkins! My Grinch-sized heart had definitely grown several sizes. Hopefully everyone had restful Christmaskwanzanukkahs and New Years. I traveled home to Vancouver for a short while – I didn’t get to see everyone I wanted to see, but I definitely slept like […]
