There are no guarantees in life. Tomorrow is never promised. Last Saturday I was out on a date. He had gone in to order us food. My phone vibrated. It was my Dad. “Did you hear?” He informed me that my best friend’s Dad had passed away from a car accident. I waited until my […]
I have been quiet. Not only on social media and blog writing but with my friends. I am an open book most days, but recently I have kept to myself. I needed to change my focus and reprioritize where I was putting my energy. With that, most people were shocked or had no idea I […]
