Our Journey

Posted by on Jan 26, 2014 in Health, Food, & Crafting | 2 comments

Our Journey

Our Journey. We live in a world where “normal” is different for all of us. Where and how we grew up plays a big role in determining what “our normal” is. As an adult, I now realize that just because your normal wouldn’t be my normal doesn’t make me right and you wrong or vice versa.

Join me today as I share “Our Journey” with you.
