The Game
Growing up, I wasn’t the most athletic. Sure I did a few years of ballet, tap dance, basketball and bowling but it was never something I needed in my life.

In Your Twenties
If there is one thing I’ve learned in my 20’s, it’s that life can definitely be messy. Despite what you might think, nobody’s perfect. Everyone is just doing their best to figure things out. When I was a kid…I remember looking around the room to the adults for direction and decision making. And now, itContinue reading “In Your Twenties”
