Life as a wife, mom, nana and follower of Christ; hoping to share from lessons learned
The Prompt: Present-day you meets 10-years-ago you for coffee. Share with your younger self the most challenging thing, the most rewarding thing, and the most fun thing they have to look forward to. The din of the coffee shop conveyed the morning rush but the sound of the tables being cleared and the bell on […]
[Continue reading...]The Prompt: Do you enjoy growing old or do you fight against it? Do I enjoy growing old or do I fight against it?
