Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I didn’t do traditional Christmas cards this year. What I wanted to do was to share the “cards” with you that have impacted me the most over this past year. It is my desire that they will touch you in a special way – like you have touched […]
My tank if full! It’s full of gratitude and thanksgiving. I sincerely hope your Thanksgiving holiday was as awe-inspiring as mine.
