Carla's thoughts for the month

Happy Mardi Gras!!  
 
I love a reason to decorate. Come see our office Mardi Gras decorations.
 

This month I blog about our trip to Bogota, Columbia.  It is definitely a place not to miss.  Then to round things out, two articles on being calmer and happier. Who doesn't need that? Laissez les bon temps roulez!!
