A couple days ago I read something that I haven’t been able to shake. Not sure where I saw it, so I can’t give credit where it’s due, but there it was and it read so loudly… “Grief is love that has nowhere to go” I touched on the fact that we learn to carry […]

Don’t hold out on the nicer things just for special occasions. You deserve special all the time. Give them to yourself. Support establishments and businesses that align […]
