dreams

Hello 2017

This will be the year I believe in magic.

This will be the year I dream my wildest dreams and wholeheartedly believe that each one of them will come true.

Happy Veteran’s Day

women in war

Each year I celebrate Veteran’s Day by watching the Maker’s documentary Women in War.

And this year I’m also thinking about all the women and men who have made sacrifices in the military and beyond so I could enjoy the rights and privileges I have today.

Because of the brave, I am free. And I will not waste this freedom. I will use it to live out my dreams and help others do the same.
