From Isolation to Empowerment: A Call for Women’s Unity
I have a delightful friend Christina who not only is an amazing individual, she is a very talented, gifted writer, who is the voice of reason, an amazing sense of support and somebody that you always want in your corner.

I’m Getting Older & I Hate It

About me…
…I am not entirely sure what this is going to be about. We reinvent ourselves do we not? Am I reinventing myself? Or am I rediscovering who I am? Am I finally becoming honest with myself about life, experiences, and how I process the world? Is it too late to start over? Do I even know where I want to…
