#52: Take time

In this week’s update, I share about getting sick and getting better, releasing an app update, and celebrating a year of updates.

Someone close to me was sharing her feelings last week. While not terrible, things were difficult for her. I told her that I hoped she could feel at least a piece of peace. Her near-immediate response was, “A piece of peace pizza.” I knew right away that was the title of my next update.
