The first time I volunteered at Chicago’s Marathon was sensational!
Sisters in Touch invited me out to volunteer at Chicago’s Marathon 2016, sponsored by Bank of America. The night before, I said a quick prayer asking for the best experience I can imagine.

It’s all about that Apple! – 5 things I discovered about myself hanging out at County Line Orchard
Picking apples off trees makes me feel peaceful.

Most certainly, it's been open season on... Continue Reading →
Raise Your Vibration
Kindness. Gratitude. Happiness. These words sound so basic but yet, it seems hard to obtain these very things. Where do you find happiness? How do you express gratitude? Who deserves kindness?
