We know that healthy lifestyle choices like eating lots of fruits and vegetables, reducing stress, exercising and getting good
There is something so magical about being out in nature and this past weekend was no exception. As I headed out on an early morning bike ride last Sunday, I spotted this herd of elk and it literally stopped me in my tracks!
