My wish is for everything to stop being so political, life's too short. My wish is for everyone to get their... Continue Reading →
I know this will sound cheeseball to some, so please feel free to skip to the end and have an awesome holiday! So... I thought about writing this up a few weeks back and for some reason, I put the thought away since that post was more of a 'wish list,' but not the kind... Continue Reading →
Is falling in love again worth the risk? Is putting your heart on the line worth it when you're in your 40's and have seen and lived every trick in the book?
