Who Am I?

Who Am I? Who Are You? The million-dollar question that is expected to have the most profound answer; or is it? I’ve been living life all wrong.

Self-Care Sunday: Love Yourself

This Sunday, I wanted to create a simple but meaningful post to promote self-care this week. The message is clear and important; love yourself.
