Tranquility Dejure, August 3rd, 2015.

Bonjour and welcome to the 343rd edition of Tranquility DeJure, featuring our lovely returning guest, Laura Vandercombe.

Be inspired by her latest work, I know how she does it,

and learn how to take care of your time, make life easier, and nurture yourself in the process.

And everyone else, it'll be on the blog on Thursday. Also a big thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the

so, you can send that information to me, Kimberly at Kimberlywilson.com,

and I'm compiling a list of what everyone has to say as we kind of move forward of making
