7 Year Blogiversary and Birthday Celebration with Barbie
As a child growing up, when things were not going right or life became too overwhelming, I always wanted to hear my parents say "you're going to be okay". Those simple words had a way to make everything seem better because the two people I looked up to most, believed...

Life's rhythms flow in and out. They dance around in slow motion and elusively beckon you to join them. The swirling, circular motion is mesmerizing and you are drawn into the middle knowing that slow and steady is the answer but is not always reality. You catch your...
