    I think it is the spontaneity and unexpectedness in which one’s life changes that makes hitting the jackpot so appealing. We enter casinos, buy raffle chances, and play the lottery for the mere chance of getting […]

    Diane,

    This post was a great insight into your fascinating history and the impact that a great teacher can have on a young child. Although I didn’t mention it in my post, it was Mrs. Bice’s first day at St. […]

    If you haven’t already discovered this through the progression of my blogs, I am a very black and white person. I wouldn’t set a goal if I believed it to be impossibly elusive. My motto is underpromise, and […]

    I think that as girls, we could write a whole SERIES of books dedicated to the topic of scheming and dreaming about developing relationships. Your post made me realize that this is really a market with […]
