On my 40th birthday my "lifelong" friends shared the above quote. I've thought a lot about it over the past few years and I truly believe we do have friends for reasons, seasons, and a lifetime. I didn't do a post yesterday because I was lucky enough to be spending time with one of my [...]

Inspirational Quotes, Courtesy of Pinterest
I love Pinterest, as do most people these days. I find so much inspiration in all forms-food, fashion, beauty-you name it, they have it. It's really quite addicting. One of the things I enjoy most are all of the inspirational quotes. Sometimes all it takes to find your mojo is the right phrase, at the [...]
