People you’re connected with and even related to should never be taken for granted. Recently I had my aunt and grandmother visit for the weekend and though I always respected both I knew very little of each.

A wonderful lady invited me to participate in a new challenge for 365 though a challenge may not be the right word. More like an inspiration every day for a year. It’s called 365Grateful. As mentioned on their site: 365 Grateful is a film about uncovering what happens when ordinary people unlock the remarkable powers […]
