I’m in love with my life. My goals are huge and I’m at a fraction of where I want to end up- but almost daily- I stop and consider how grateful I am to enjoy a life where I am able to create for a living while having the freedom to spend time helping others, … More How to Overcome Your Insecurities and Live the Life of Your Dreams

I woke up this morning to the sound of two children outside my window- making snow angels at 7a.

Sometime around noon I ventured … More Winter Wonderland…
