One of my very best girlfriends sent me a wonderful, inspiring short video this morning. It was a video of Steve Harvey, and in it, he was discussing how important it is for us to decide to step out on faith and take that "jump" towards fulfilling our purpose in life. I loved it so...

You’re Really Not Missing Anything

The In-Betweens
In a previous post, I touted how proud I am of the people my city produces, and that definitely still holds true.
