Allowing someone into your life, no matter how briefly, can touch your soul and teach you something new about yourself. Every day we have a chance to become the person we wish we were thanks to those chance encounters. So, take advantage of every single one of them. Some may be painful but, as we learn to […]

2017 has been a wild ride as the last two have, but this one takes the cake! I’m grateful though for every chance, opportunity, and lesson.
