Equanimity: Mental Calmness and Composure – Emily
I’m going to apologize in advance for my poetic nature when I write. I’m not very good at articulating what I’m trying to say and will admit it’s much easier to describe things when I’m comparing them to something else. That being said, I’m here to talk to you about one of my favorite places….
