What is this life if we don't wander to find ourselves?

Today I became frustrated with the many items in said make-up bag because I couldn't get to anything I truly needed. So I dumped it in the sink -- and my... Continue Reading →
On the eve of the dawn of my last month being 30-something (wow, that was a lot of words, hope you understood that), I’m laughing.
