Were do we walk?

Walk and Talk sessions can take place really anywhere.  Though! Currently the office is located conveniently near the Doodle Trail in Easley, SC .  How great is that?!  We begin our sessions at the big rail car at the head of the Doodle Trail, and walk to a convenient stopping point before returning to where we started. If you would like ot sprinkle Walk and Talk into your sessions, just let Dave or Michele know.
