I’ll let you in on another…

Oh, the seasons we’ll GROW
Read moreNew seasons are inevitable. Think about it; we never remain in just one season. Spring, summer, fall and winter will always come—no matter what the temperature says, they’ll always come.

Unrehearsed
Read moreThere are times when I would not be surprised if next to the definition of “planner” you saw my picture. I may not be that bad but for the most part I plan, EVERYTHING! I’d plan my outfits, my trips to the store—this helps me to not overspend #aintnobodygottimeforthat. I planned my time with family and friends so strategically that I’d find myself rehearsing our conversations. The conversations that were…
