Farewell Facebook friends
Arguably, I was a tad abrupt.
But I’d been thinking about doing it for awhile.
Last week I pulled the trigger.

“Jennifer provided great guidance throughout a difficult process,” says Frank Burke, owner and president of the Chattanooga Lookouts, by phone. “She was sensitive to what I was going through and accommodating when what I wanted to do didn’t match her recommendations.”
North Shore Yoga becoming lifestyle center for its many students
When Sara Mingus moved to Chattanooga from Buffalo, N.Y., five years ago, she began teaching yoga right away. Athletic from an early age, Mingus had always “been into sports and health and nutrition,” and after dabbling in yoga during college, she really fell in love with it while living in Charlotte, N.C.
Weekly Indulgence
Last night, I had dinner at Bonefish Grill, off of Gunbarrel Road. When our server, Phillip, discovered it was my first time at the restaurant, he kindly walked me through both sides of the menu.
