So it is officially MOnday and I thought I would write a blog on the MOvember experience with an emphasis on the letters MO.

Some of us have grown up with the Nike slogan in our head and often use it in conversations…but have you ever really thought about the saying? This summer I am trying to accomplish many things – we are thinking about moving, I’d like to take some courses, our fall programs here at Good Learning Anywhere are…
