I never stepped foot onto a plane until I was 21. I kid you not. I flew first class to Las Vegas with my best friend. It was a new and exciting experience for me and I learned that traveling could be quick, efficient and wondrous all at the same time. My family would take […]
Throughout November, I have had the sweet experience of reading the points of gratitude that my friends have been posting online. So very, very much of what they say rings true in my own life and many times, I could have not said it as eloquently as they have. Their comments have helped me take […]
