Hello TORQUE family, how I miss you so. There really are not the proper words to describe just how all of this feels. I know it is not easy to express or say, but I am confident we all feel it. Whether you have been here from the start or joined us a week before the shutdown, you know the love and life that this studio gives and right now we could all use it. This pandemic is nothing short of an obstacle. Each day we are faced with new things. New challenges to face. New hats to wear. New emotions to sort. It is all still new in a sense even though it has become our normal. I don’t think this will ever fully settle within our souls as normal and sorting out those feelings is just part of the battle. I’ve been reminding myself of one word through all of this. I’ve been praying, hoping, wishing, to whoever you believe it to give me this. Through all of this, we must give ourselves grace, it’s the only way we will carry on. 

So what does that even mean. How do we “give ourselves grace”. Well, the saying in and of itself means to give the kindness and love that you need and deserve. It’s far from easy and is definitely a work in progress, but I think right now it is one of our only choices. But how? How do we do this?? Unfortunately, amazon doesn’t sell this. And target (RIP) is in the same boat. We find grace in forgiveness, patience, and love. Stay with me as I explain. 

Forgiveness. It’s one of the hardest things to do. To let go of feelings. To let go of pain. To let go of frustration. All of it is so hard, but so necessary. When we forgive our significant others, our colleagues, our families, and more importantly ourselves, that is when we feel and find grace. If you miss a workout, forgive yourself. If you are frustrated with a co worker, forgive yourself. If you lash out on the kids, forgive yourself. There is no how to on any of this. But  it important to remember that our frustrations and our anger is not worth our health and happiness. It is not going to steal anymore of this normalcy. When we forgive, we find peace. Something we all need right now. 

Patience. It’s a virtue we practice everyday. Not an easy one, but an essential one. Be patient with yourself. Finding grace is not going to happen over night. It will not work the first time. And it will be a roller coaster of a ride. But patience will get your through. In times of stress and worry...close your eyes, count to 10, then access the situation. Don’t make permanent decisions on temporary feelings. Be patient and let yourself be okay with that. 

Love. The answer to all things. The most essential of them all. Hold those babies tight. Do tik toks with your teenagers. Let them pick the movie because you always get to pick. Cook his/her favorite meal. Send the text. Make the call. Go the extra mile this time. Act with love and your life will shine. Love hard. Love daily. Love strong. Love together. Love apart. Whatever you do, do it with love and your life will be full. If you lay down at night and have a beating heart and a house full of love, you’ve done good for that day. Remember that, today, tomorrow, and always. 

Come on this journey of grace with me. Let’s fill this stressful and uncertain time with forgiveness, patience, and love. And as we do, watch as it blooms into the most beautiful adventure you could have ever embarked on. It will be wholesome. It will be fulfilling. And most importantly, it will be yours. Give yourself some grace today, even if it’s for a second. I promise you it will go a long way. 

All my love to you all no matter where you may be, 

Caroline

-Dear me, love me. Dear you, love you.-

Dear Me, 
​

How are we entering the 7th week of this quarantine. 7 weeks of stillness in the world. 7 weeks of homes becoming office spaces and classrooms. 7 weeks of being together, yet apart. 7 weeks of chances and opportunities to become better or rise to the challenge. 7 weeks of at home workouts waiting to be done. 7 weeks of healthy meals to be cooked. 7 weeks of skincare routines and books to read. We have been through all of that and yet, I am looking back and thinking one thing… 7 weeks of me failing at it again. 

I just don't know how we got here. How has it been 7 weeks already. I mean it just seems to be flying by, yet going so slow. It seems like the days are so long, but there is still no time. It seems like the world is figuring out how to endure this and I’m not there yet. I mean I go on Instagram and see everyone and their mother doing these awesome workouts, making these amazing dinners, baking these scrumptious desserts, having zoom happy hours on repeat. I go on Facebook and see the amazingness of the world. Food bank donations, birthday parades, songs being released, and cards being sent to frontline workers. And here I am wondering if I will have the motivation today to to shower and answer one email before I log back on and scroll through again just to feel guilty and sorry for myself. 

I just can’t seem to find the good in this right now. I am wondering if maybe there is just something wrong with me. Why can’t I figure this out. Why can’t I just be like them. I am low on motivation. I am exhausted and annoyed by work. I am frustrated with my child’s teacher. I am scared to go to the store. I am finding every excuse in the book to not take care of myself. I am struggling with this more so than I can say and I just don't know what to do. I don't know who to turn to.
​
Love, Me 
​

Dear You, 
​
How I wish I could just wrap you up in a hug and not let you go until you feel all the love you need. Believe me when I say I hear you. I see you. I understand what you are going through. For the past 7 weeks, we have been walking in a dark tunnel with no light at the end in sight. We are on edge, we are scared, and we are frustrated that this is our reality. This is no where near easy. And I can promise you that those people on Instagram and Facebook didn't get an exclusive copy of a “how to make the best of this quarantine” book, because it does not exists. All we can do is try our best. Right now I need you to let all of those thoughts go. Let all of the frustration and guilt go. And just simply listen. 

“Those” people, are failing forward. Thats right, they are failing. They didn't get here, to this place, by just simply being the best things ever. They got here by trying this or that 100 times before they were able to post it for others to see. You feel me? No one waltzed into this knowing exactly how those next 7 weeks would pan out. It’s all a gamble. But the thing with that is you have to constantly be playing the game in order to “win”. I mean the chances of finding the perfect quarantine schedule with only making one are pretty low. It is all about figuring out how and when and where. and that takes more than one try. You were not made to give up. You were made to get up again. 

So maybe these past 7 weeks haven't worked out that great. That is okay. No one expects perfection in these times. But I know you do. So today, you start. Take these past 7 weeks and what you have done as all the things that you have failed forward with. Meaning you did them in attempt to become better and they simply didn't work. There is no guilt associated with it, no shame, no nothing except genuine effort that didn't fall into place. But know that we know they don't work and we know that they are not magically going to start working, so it is probably best that we make a change. So now, it’s time to try again. Pick a different time to workout. Plan your meals for the week and fill your instacart with those ingredients. Shower in the morning. Make virtual plans so you have something to look forward to. Set boundaries. And don't stop until you are happy. 

I can't stress enough to you that everything is not as it seems. Behind the posts and the stories, they are people. They are people with emotions and fears just like you.They are struggling and frustrated just like you. But they have failed forward over and over again to the point where they found something that works. You are well on your way my love. Don’t stop now. The world, now more than ever, needs to see you living your best life. I know you can do this. I know you want to do this. I just need to make sure you're not giving up. 

So close your eyes. Make a wish. When life ain’t easy remember this. Just close your eyes. Make a wish all the troubles can be fixed.

Love, You

-What if?-

4/14/2020

Good morning beautiful people! I hope this finds you well. It seems hard to believe that we have been at this now for over a month. It truly is becoming our new normal and I am sure I am not the only one who is feeling weary about it. I know that it is different, but we have two choices…to accept it a deny it. I know that we would have never wanted this or thought in a million years that it would happen, but we are facing it right now. Whether we accept it or not, we have to try to see what blessings come out of it. We have to re-shift our mindset, focus our perspective, and keep breathing in the present moment that we are in. I have always found comfort in the saying that living in the past creates depression and living in the future creates anxiety. So our best option is to live in the present because that creates happiness. Let's try, our very best, to be here now. 


I have been thinking about this a lot and everything. I mean our worlds are completely turned upside down. Schools are closed, businesses are shut down, everyone is home, and suddenly our lives as we knew them are put on pause. Every time I think of this, it seems to lead me back to these two words…”what if”. I know that in the past, these words have been associated with scary and irrational thoughts.  And believe me, you could have negative what if thoughts during this time if you let yourself. But this time, I think they are full of hope and realization.Stay with me as I explain. 


What if this is the best thing that has ever happened to us? What if this was the reset we all needed? What if we come out of this stronger as individuals and families? What if this allows us to really know what is important in life and what isn’t? The positive what if’s are endless when we allow ourselves to think of them. I know that in all of this it is hard to imagine how this could be good, but I think we are already starting to see it. Families are spending more time together. Creating bonds and memories that will truly last a life time. People are getting outside. Running on trails, riding bikes, playing in the driveway with chalk, exploring and making up games as they go. We are cooking more! Trying new recipes, breaking out old ones, sitting around the tables and enjoying meals together. Exercising is becoming a daily activity. Whether you are walking around the neighborhood or squatting with a case of water, we are getting our bodies moving. We have stopped comparing and judging. Pajamas all day? Fantastic! Wine at 2 pm..well I was there the other day so go for it! Date night in? I'm stealing that idea. We are letting go of other peoples opinions because we simply just don't have the time or headspace to care.  I think though, my favorite thing about all of this so far, is that things are being brought back to love. Birthdays and holidays are currently not about what, they are about who. No one can run to a store and get a present and maybe a homemade cake is the best you could do. But it hasn't seemed to matter because the love and sheer excitement of just seeing people, six feet away, surpasses all of that. Our hearts are shifting away from all the what’s and where’s of life and are now set on the who’s and why’s. That to me is worth all of this. The refocus our hearts are going through is enough for me to realize that while this is scary, different, and very much so life-threatening, the way it is changing us is, in-fact, life saving. 

So let’s take this time to think of all the ways this has changed us in a positive way. What ways has this opened your heart or focused your eyes on what is most important. How have we let go of what has weighed us down and stopped caring of what others think? How have we been there for our friends, even though we physically can’t be? How are we changing for the good? All of these thoughts will allow you to see how this, single handenly, might be a blessing in the strangest of disguises. What we need, what we pray for, what we think will make life better, sometimes is delivered in a way we never thought it would be. And while it might not make sense in the moment, when we stop and think about it, it might just become crystal clear. 
Hang in there tribe! Keep your head up, your hearts strong, and your hands clean. Enjoy this time with your families, your lovers, your four legged friends! Find the good and hold it tight. And take some time to think of the positive what if’s this could bring. We miss you, we love you, we are here for you. Remember that always because the thing that is holding us together is love, and it has been for a very long time. That’s all for now. Breathe and keep calm. 


Infinite x’s and o’s,

-Self Care Challenge-

4/2/2020

Good Afternoon TORQUE tribe and happy Thursday!!! We have almost made it to another end of the work week! IF one thing is the same about all of this, it’s that Friday’s still feel like Friday’s. Hold onto that today and know that we are so close! With that being said, I think that we are starting to settle into this new routine. Schedules have been set, areas have been designated, online learning is in full swing, it is somehow becoming a new normal. While none of us would have chosen this, we have accepted it and that is the most important thing.Hopefully, now that things are settling in some aspects, we might be able to get back into the self care department. I know dare I say it, but in all honesty putting yourself first in some things during this is no different than doing it 3 weeks ago. If anything, it is more important now than ever. We are stuck, in our homes, with our families,  and limited access to things (aka wine) all while working, teaching, parenting, cleaning, cooking, etc. Taking some time for yourself and your mental health has never been more important than it is in this very moment. I know it won’t be easy and trying to find time to escape is hard to come by, but we have to try. So what do we do? I’m glad you asked. I have been creating these choice boards for my students to keep them occupied at home with math and reading activities and I thought it would be a great way to share some self care idea with you. Here’s how this works…

Pick an activity off the choice board. Cater it or tweak it to what works best for you. Then… do it!Once you do it, cross it off the list. Do this everyday, a couple times a week, or once a week. Whatever works best for you. If you want, we would LOVE to see these activities! Share them on your Instagram stories, tag your friends to do one, and use the hashtag #torquetogether! We need to be to sharing anything and anything that is positive right now. And nothing says that more than loving yourself during this difficult time. I hope you enjoy this and take some time to unwind, soothe your soul, and fill you cup during this time of uncertainties. 

Sending all my love, sanity, patience, and air hugs to you all wherever you may be. 

XO,

-Normalcy is key in times of uncertainty-

3/23/2020

GOOD MORNING!!! Happy Monday! I know that I am not the only one who needed to double check what the date was before writing it. This quarantining is sure doing some interesting things to say the least, and not knowing the date or even the time is definitely one of them. I wanted to write to you all today about this new reality we were facing. I know that while it is still new, we are starting to settle into it. The first few days were TOUGH. I mean, everything that we knew to be our lives, somehow was stripped away in a few news conferences. And there we were to put the pieces together. Make it less scary. And figure out a plan of just how we would come to accept this. I know it left me feeling very anxious, uncomfortable, and just overall not happy. I was frustrated that my students were being taken away from me. That my beloved gym had to close their doors. That I was a risk to my grandparents. It scared me in a way I had never been scared before and I did not like it. Not one bit. 

So the days went on. I tried to find a new normal. Like did I still wake up at the same time? Did I eat eggs and toast for breakfast now because well I had the time? Was I supposed to shower and get ready for work? Or were sweatpants just fine? Should I eat lunch? Was I even hungry? So many questions running through my head at one time. It was overwhelming. It was different for sure. And there was no guidelines on how to approach it other than trial and error. So thats what I did. And let me say I lived in that error area for a few days. At first, it was great. Because it was that long desired break and slow down that I had been begging for. Until it wasn't just a long weekend. Soon I didn't know what day it was. I had eaten way too many snack. I hadn't worked out. Did I even shower? Who knows. And then I  woke up and realized that this was more than a long weekend. This was a new reality and the only way it would get better is by making it better. So I decided to start realllllyyy small. I showered. And then I decided I was going to blow-dry and straighten my hair. Then something else amazing happened. I put on make up and real clothes. And suddenly, it was like my whole outlook on this changed. I was ready to work and be productive. I was motivated to get done early so I could sneak in a walk/run. I felt like me and not just some lazy couch potato who was annoyed that Netflix had the audacity to ask me if I was still watching. (seriously, they should temporarily remove that feature during this pandemic. obviously we are watching!!)

From that day on, I had a little bit of life in me. Was I automatically adjusted to both DJ and I working from home in a small apartment? No. But did I feel a little bit more like myself. Absolutely. I think that through this time of unknown, that is the key. To find that things that we know and are comfortable with and do them. To bring a sense of normalcy into this trying time. And if we can’t, then we need to create a new normal. Whether it is walking around the neighborhood on your lunch break or reading before bed every night or doing a workout just to hear the instructors voice. Whatever it is, make sure it takes you to a place that is closer to you. Will it be the same? Of course not. Because the circumstances are different. But is it the best option at the moment…you already know the answer. So let’s keep doing it. I cannot tell you how amazing it has been to see everyone connecting via social media. I mean really, all the workouts, the FaceTime happy hours, the education that is taking place. It is seriously amazing to see how although we are distant in a physical sense, we are more together than we have ever been in an emotional sense. That ladies and gents is how you take lemons and made lemonade (with vodka in it for obvious reasons). 
​

Togetherness has never been more important than now. And TORQUE tribe, this is a skill we mastered a long, long time ago.We need more things that fuel hope and set fire in hearts to keep on going though this tough time. We can do this. We already are. We just can’t stop, and I know that we have the best army behind each and every one of us holding our hands along the way. Remember, you don't have to run, you don't have to walk, crawl if you have to just don't stop moving towards the day that we can all be together again in friendship and love. That’s the silver lining. And that is what I keep on the forefront these days. It you guys. You are giving me the strength I need to get through this. 


With all my love and endless air hugs, 

Caroline

-This is how we walk on-

I hope that in the midst of all this chaos, stress, and uncertainty that this message finds you and brings you a sense of peace. I am writing to you to tell you that in the end, everything will be okay and if it’s not okay, well then it’s not the end. What is important at this very moment is that you are here. You are breathing. And you are going to walk away from this post with a better mindset on this than you did when you started reading. I am here to validate your fears and anxieties towards this situation, because quite frankly they are real. They are present. And they are scary. I am also here though to be the sunshine on a cloudy day. To offer perspective and solutions. In every single thing, there is some type of good. This blog is going to be the place that we go searching for the good in the middle of all of these troubles. So the question still stands…how do we walk on. Well, this is how. 

I can only imagine all the thoughts going through each and every ones heads. While we can connect on this to some degree, this experience is different for us all. Whether it be a matter of money, childcare, or being exposed, and working…it is nothing short of scary and stressful. It is times like these where the most essential thing that we do is come together. We cannot allow the stress or the anxiety of this situation to further isolate ourselves from the ones we trust, love, and care about the most any more than it already has. I know that this is not easy, but it is step one. Step two is not too far behind. We have to come to terms that this is the new reality. We have to accept and follow the precautions. Don't take the invincible approach on this one. My feelings are you might lose. Accept that this is happening and let’s work together to find solutions on how to get through. 

For those of you with kids at home, I can honestly say, I know what it is like. While I do not have children of my own, I have a lucky 18 that I get to call my own from 8-4 each day. Now that they are home, and most likely without formal plans yet from schools, this is my advice. 
1. Acknowledge that this is scary for them. They are dealing with this in their own way. They know that it is different and that something is wrong. Unfortunately, they don't have the mindset to sort all of this on their own. They will need your help to reduce their stress and anxiety on this. It is important to not project your fears onto them, but rather allow them to talk openly about how this situation makes them feel. 
2. Make a schedule. Don’t let this become a free for all. The more rigid this time can be, the better off! 
3. Remember they are listening. Be cautious and aware of what you say, the tone you say it in, and the amount that you are talking about this topic. Don't let this consume you any more that you need to. When we live in the future of what if, we have allowed ourselves to become anxious beings. Take this day by day, update by update, breath by breath. 
4. Implement some type of quiet time. Whether it be an hour or a half hour, some designated time where they can be alone and you can as well will allow for this time to be more bearable. I think all parties will benefit from this as it is exhausting on all ends. 
5. Teach them life skills. Speaking as a 1st grade teacher, those little bodies are capable of more than you think. This is a great time to teach them about laundry, dishes, cleaning, packing lunches, etc. Make this a part of their day. It not only gives them something to do, but helps you out as well. 
6. Wine. Self explanatory. No shame. Happy hour is any hour at this point. 

For those of you stuck at home: 
1. Prioritize self care. Take this time to deepen an understating of yourself. There are very few times when life almost comes to a complete stop. This is one of them. Start each day with something to make you feel good. Whether it is making your bed, drinking water, having your coffee outside, doing a workout. Do something to jumpstart the day. There is a lot of times on your hands and that is overwhelming. Start your day by doing something, I promise you won’t regret it. 
2. Do the TORQUE workouts that are being posted on the social media pages. With most gyms closed, this is not the time to do nothing. In addition to the TORQUE social media pages, there is Youtube, apps, Pinterest which are all great resources for some easy, simple at home workouts. You might find it hard to self motivate. The great thing is, everyone is in it together. Get a group together and do some workouts at the same time. Encourage each other the best you can from miles away. 
3. Get dressed! Yep, I know, the sweats are comfy. Being productive in slippers and a sweatshirt is HARD. Put on some jeans, do your hair, and you’ll be that much more motivated to work. 
4. Drink water, and more water, and more water. With the lack of exercise and possibly the lack of fresh produce available, keeping up on your water intake is CRUCIAL people. Especially since bathroom breaks are endless and about 5 feet away, there really is no excuse! 
5. Allow yourself to relax a little. Read some books, watch some new shows, take a bath, sleep in. Letting yourself relax is not a crime, especially in the middle of all this chaos. Being happy you have some time off is not a sin. So soak it up as a positive and move right along. 
6. FaceTime, Skype, etc with your coworkers. They are lonely too. Plan a virtual lunch date, call them on the phone, don’t isolate anymore than you have too. Remember, we rise by lifting others. Let them know you are missing them, because they are missing you too. 
7. Check things off the to do list. Clean out the basement, organize the hallway closet, sort through old clothes, purge, purge purge!! The time is now!! 

Will any of this be easy? Probably not. It’s not our normal. It’s out of our comfort zone. And to top it off, it’s paired with anxiety. It’s a pretty terrible recipe we have at the moment, but it’s all about perspective. Take this time to find the light. Take advantage of this extra time with your kids. They will remember this time of their life for their whole life. Make it a good memory. Have breakfast for dinner. Let them laugh and giggle. Have dance parties in the kitchen at 1 pm because you can. You will look back on this years from now and wish you could all be stuck together for just one day. The time is now to make those memories to one day look back on. Don’t let the virus steal that from you. And most importantly, breathe. It will be okay. It will end. And we will be stronger becuase of it not because we made it through, but because we did it together. And you all know that is my most favorite place to be. 

That’s all I have for you right now. You can do this my loves!! As always, sending love to you and yours no matter where you are in this world. Keep calm and wash your hands.
In health with peace,
Caroline

-Welcome to the blog pt.2-

3/3/2020

Hi there my babes! I cannot tell you HOW happy I am to be sitting down to write to all of you. It has been WAY too long and believe me when I say I am sorry for the long hard pause on the blog. This past month has just been pure hell at work. Observations, contracts, the flu, you name it, we faced it. I am human and I just could not find the time to balance it all. Thankfully our boss babe is the most amazing and understanding person who lets me write when I feel inspired and post when the time feels right. Well I can tell you, the time is most certainly right. So I wanna tell you a funny story. Last week, I wrote up a blog because I found the time to finally get into the creative headspace and write. So I wrote it, sent it to the boss babe, got it approved, posted it, and then simultaneously in one second and one click deleted the entire blog and all the posts that have ever been posted on it. Nope, I am not kidding. That really happened. And no, it was not funny. I can’t even describe to you what emotions were going through my head. Besides sheer panic, I was sad, heartbroken, in total disbelief and about 100 other things. But there was nothing I could do except move along and start from scratch. So that brings us here. To this post. On our slightly different blog page. And I couldn't be more excited about it. 

So what is the Tribe Times? What is it’s purpose? How did it start? It is actually one of my most favorite stories to tell. This blog, Tribe Times, started about 2 years ago. I had been going to TORQUE for just about a year. I was in college and going through some really dark things. Life just wasn't bright for me unless I was at the studio. Which was a really big problem considering I was in my junior year of college at Penn State. I remember coming home on the weekends and spending a lot of time healing and learning about myself in the studio. Opening old wounds, sorting feelings, and breaking down high, high walls. When Sunday rolled around, I had a lot of new songs to listen to on my way back to school accompanied by a lot of new thoughts to think. Just me, spotify, and 3 hours of open road. Lots of things happened on those drives. A lot of healing took place. I would get back to my apartment and usually text Summer about my drive. I would tell her all the things I pieced together. All the clarity I had gained. All my goals and ambitions for the week. It was like clockwork. And one day Summer said, “Caroline, you need to write. Like actually write. Like stories or a book or something.” I, at the time, was so unsure of myself and purpose that I didn't believe her. But I knew one thing, I did love writing. I always loved how words flowed together and became these amazing thoughts and perspectives. So I took a leap of faith, and responded to her saying, “will you let me write a blog for TORQUE?” Let me tell you, those were the longest I don't even know how many minutes of my life. It was the first time I took a step totally outside my comfort zone. I had NO clue what she was going to say. The minutes went by and the doubt settled. I started to think, “why did I ever send that?”, “she is obviously going to say no!”, I’m just some broken college kid, who is even going to read this.” And then my phone buzzed. I knew it was her before I could even look at my phone. SO nervous to read the text, I unlocked my phone, and there it was. My smooth landing. She responded, “I think that would be amazing. You get it together and we will see how it goes. This is all you and I am excited.” So that night, I started.I stayed up the whole night. Figuring out websites. Trying different fonts. This that everything. I was motivated and excited. And it has unfolded to become one of my most prized possessions to this date. 

That’s how this started. A sappy text turned into an idea fueled with confidence and belief.So what is the point? Like I said before this blog was started when a lot of things were different. I didn't just mean the studio. The person behind this blog has changed a lot too. She went from a confused, broken, devastated college student to a first grade teacher who is in love with the love of her life and can clearly see her purpose. I give a lot of credit to time, music, spin, love, family, and friends for getting me this far, but I would be lying if I didn't mention this blog. This blog was the ear I needed to listen to my thoughts. It was the outlet that allowed me to free myself from my darkest fears. It was the 2 am phone call where I got out my thoughts. My travel buddy. It was a voice for me in a really dark time. And that will never change.

So this blog. Well in short, this is a place where we can come together and heal. It is a place where we can touch on those tough topics. The ones we don't want to speak of, but maybe can get ourselves to read. This is a place where we acknowledge we aren't perfect and that sometimes life sucks. This is a place where we shine a light on the amazing people of the studio and look closer into their lives and stories. This is a place where we heal. If you haven't read a blog yet, stay with me, I know it sounds like a bunch of fluff. But I promise you, these blogs, the togetherness that you feel when reading them, they have a way at pulling at just the right heartstrings at just the right time at just the right place. That is one thing I can promise you. This is raw and real. It is blunt and honest. It is simply sometimes what we don't want to hear, but know that we need to. So join me on this journey. There is no schedule. There is no planned posts. This is just simply a girl sharing her thoughts with the world. I hope you fall in love with this just as much as I have. I hope it can be that reassurance you need or the affirmation you are waiting for. I hope it everything you hope and dream it to be. This is the blog. This is me. We are TORQUE.

 As always, XOXO…
