Looking at myself in the mirror and wondering who is my truest inspiration? I became conflicted with my thoughts for a brief moment. Asking myself another question, would it be selfish to write about myself? I observed the feelings and thoughts that surfaced.

A letter to the person that has inspired me the most
You have no idea what you have done. I cannot begin to describe the significance that your actions have had on myself, as well as my life.

You were a woman who overt…
It’s hard to believe that we’ve known each other for nine years now. It feels more like five years than nine. That’s how much fun & a blessing this journey has been for me. I’m so grateful that we crossed paths.
