One Year of Accomplishment
I started this blog one year ago today! What a journey it has been. My first post marked a monumental moment for me. I stood on the scale saw a number instead "error". I was so excited to see the number 335 on that scale. I remember telling myself "I am going to go all the way." I …
Patience – Lessons from Fishing
