If The Only Prayer You Ever Say In Your Entire Life Is Thank You, It Will Be Enough.


Does it seem strange to anyone else but me that the biggest shopping day of the year in the U.S. is the day after Thanksgiving? It’s kinda like we’re saying, “Let’s get this giving thanks stuff out-of-the-way and focus on … Continue reading

Love Is Complicated. Love Is Passionate. Love Is Crazy. I Am In Love With Loving
