I haven’t blogged in awhile, mostly because this week has been a circus. But there was another reason. Lately, I have felt so defeated. Now, it is a normal feeling that when you put so much effort into something, that when is fails, you feel like you have failed as well. What happens when the… Continue reading Can We Please be Kind?
Today, I thought I would share some things that I feel like you should know. This is by no means a comprehensive list. Many of my friends and family are now following my blog.
