Who's That Girl?

Do you ever have those days where you just don’t want to be you?  Some days are harder than others and for many reasons, but I’m trying my very best. Today I would like to be someone else.  Someone who doesn’t have to think about the things that I think or worry about.  Someone who…

This weekend I had the pleasure of being able to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and to relax, recharge and reconnect all within the beautiful surroundings of nature.  Mother Nature was on our side this weekend and gave us glorious weather with warm sunshine, stunning clear skies and incredible views of the…

It’s been one of those weeks lately, months if I’m being honest. It has been one thing after another. Hearing about one friend’s heartbreak, another battling an illness, another struggling financially.
