HELLO AND WELCOME!
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. I’m thrilled you’re here, but more than a little bummed that we’re not sitting across from each other, coffee mugs warming our hands, meeting each other properly. My hope, is that we’ll get to know one another through our conversation on this blog. In a world that is churning with division, let’s talk…let’s encourage…let’s learn…let’s enjoy each other’s differences. Because honestly, it’s our differences that make life spicy—interesting, unique, and oh so tasty! No pressure here to conform. Really!!
