Yesterday, I didn’t tell you what I feel my calling is and what I want to do because it seems crazy and if I were to pursue it, I might turn my family’s life upside down… but if it worked, it would be so cool. Last night, I shared my post with my husband and [...]
Bye Bye, Bridge

Yesterday, a friend brought a group of her friends together. Friends who hadn’t seen each other in years. Friends who loved her and thought of her often.
