When your failed Dreams become a better reality
The idea behind this blog has been a topic that I have wrestled with in my head for a long time. Many times I feel like I failed to live up to what I wanted to be and ultimately feel that has let my family down. I wanted to do more and be able to provide my family...
Are you afraid to be you?
I've seen or heard others often say I don't like to hear my own voice or I don't like how I look in a photo. We spend our life time worrying about how we look and how others see us. What do you see when you look in the mirror? There are two side to this, one will say...
