Understanding Feelings
With the holidays upon us it is difficult to know what everyone wants and what to expect from all of the family visits and gifts.
I have been on Facebook probably for a short time every day to scroll down, find out what is happening on my Author page and give out kind words to families that are suffering greatly especially at this time of year. I am overwhelmed at the amount of people on my page that are truly […]
Volunteers
