My Year of White Knuckling My Way Through Life
My year of white knuckling my way through life…. Not proud of it and certainly not sugarcoating my journey. For the past year, August 6th, 2017 through today, I have been holding on…for dear life.

Leaning In To Have Your Voice Heard
Leaning in to have your voice heard. A simple message of meaning. I have come to realize in a very strong and powerful manner that my voice matters and that what I say has value.
