Wonder Woman
You have your days where you feel powerful, resilient and determined. Those days where nothing and no one can stop you from being as strong as you feel. The days where you look back on the cards you were dealt and wondered how you EVER made it through. The days where you didn’t always feel…
The Happy Helper (Anchored)
“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” ― Charles Dickens Every Thanksgiving I contribute a side dish or two to the family dinner.

Don’t
Time Energy Manpower Emotions Factors that are contributed to relationships, jobs, people and society itself. Factors that aren’t given can potentially cause a downfall.
