Have you ever had those days, weeks, or seasons where you just flat out feel empty? Sometimes you can recognize what took the wind out of your sail (hectic schedules, life altering situations), but other times it’s just there — emptiness.

needing a pick-me-up.
I’m not sure what you do when you need a little pick-me-up in your day. If you have a great secret to share, oh please do tell us? I’m always looking for that extra perk around 3pm.
