I got an email a while back from a relative and then I had a hot and prickly stomachache for two days. This person, my uncle, had subscribed to my newsletter list and although I kind-of-sort-of noticed the name, I didn’t really put two and two together; it’s not like his name is Zebulon or… …Read More »
Hello sweet Friend! Just because you were wounded doesn’t mean you can’t shine.

And I love to feel alive. Yes, sometimes that… …Read More »
