When I was a tween I suffered through embarrassment after embarrassment. Some incidents truly mortifying. As a young girl, we go through very painful events in our lives that just make us cringe. Menstrual onset, pimples, and first bras are some of the most excruciatingly embarrassing moments in […]
I had a fairly random day today where I had meetings galore, surprise visits and more Valentine’s Day celebrations. Chocolate, tapioca pudding and cake where everywhere to be had. I experienced a variety of emotions with many ups and downs. By the end of the day I felt […]
