It’s something about the change of season. The weather is a little cooler, the leaves begin to turn and the decorations begin to make their way to your neighborhood homes.

This is your month to shine. You deserve to be present in all things you do this month. You deserve to feel good and be admired this month.

A lot of times, there are lessons that I feel cannot or will not apply to me, even being five years into my marriage; however, 2017 put me in a place where I was struggling with loving myself more than I ever was before. In turn, that put a big strain on parts of my […]
