I was given this really good piece of advice from a very intelligent, fun-loving, inspiring woman I know. She is a woman I deeply respect for her energy and honesty, but mostly, because she is “real.” She happens to be the wife of an Army general.

This past week, I decided to start a spouse coffee for the Captain’s Career Course.

But, let me back up a second.
