HAPPY NEW YEAR, new decade and for me, the start of my 30s. I’d like to think that all of the above could at the very least look like my vision - 20/20. The year almost asks for it right?! Who knows when or if I’ll need glasses, contacts, or an assist with reading (or reading into) something by Read More >>>
