I start taking baby steps to a big dream this week. Long back I mentioned it on here. This whole thing happened in less than three weeks. I am excited, eager and anxious to start. I remember the heady days of starting middle and high school when I would lay out my books ahead of […]

I woke up in the morning thinking my little niece turns ONE today!!! I have a smile on in what seems like a permanent fixture on my face today. Humming to myself I waited till it was a Godly hour to call my brother’s home and wish the little one. Not that she cares.. but […]
